Just as a reference, this is how V4L2 describes colorspace information:

https://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-new/uapi/v4l/colorspaces.html

Sections 2.4-2.6 are all about that.

Note: pure gamma functions (i.e. Gamma 2.2) are not defined since we do not
support hardware that needs that. Should that be needed in the future, then
we would add that to the xfer_func defines.
