There's no encoding for RGB formats if I understand things correctly, so I'd 
set ycbcr_enc to V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_DEFAULT. The transfer function and the 
quantization apply to all formats, but I'd be surprised to find a sensor 
outputting limited range for RGB.

Have you been able to check whether the sensor outputs limited range of full 
range YUV ? If it outputs full range you can hardcode quantization to 
V4L2_QUANTIZATION_FULL_RANGE for all formats.
