Exact, sorry I mismatch, Amlogic doubles the clock in the encoder and
divides the height by 2 to achieve half bandwidth.

OK then, thanks, but I mismatched, it should be like the 4:2:2 entries :

MEDIA_BUS_FMT_UYVY8_1_1X24 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_UYVY10_1_1X30 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_UYVY12_1_1X36 (to be added)
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_UYVY16_1_1X48 (to be added)
