I'd use || instead of && here. Ditto for the next patch.

Are you sure this is in fact how it is used? If the source of the video
is the sensor (camera), then the colorspace is typically SRGB. I'm not
really sure you should guess here. All a mem2mem driver should do is to
pass the colorspace etc. information from the output to the capture side,
and not invent things. That simply makes no sense.

We may have to update the documentation or v4l2-compliance test if this
is an issue. The more I think about this, the more I think we shouldn't
do this guessing game.
