What if the format is configured first while the SRU isn't connected after a
UDS, the pipeline then reconfigured to add the UDS, and streaming started ?
Furthermore the force_identity_mode flag will only be set at streamon time, as
that's when vsp1_video_pipeline_build_branch() is called.

This is not needed as the whole structure is initialized to 0, but it doesn't
hurt too much either.

While at it, could you add kerneldoc for the structure ?

The flag is never reset to false.

Seems you're missing at least two unit tests for this patch :-)
