[PATCH v7 2/4] media: videodev2: add V4L2_FMT_FLAG_FIXED_RESOLUTION
From: Maxime Jourdan
Date: Fri May 31 2019 - 05:35:23 EST
When a v4l2 driver exposes V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE, some (usually
OUTPUT) formats may not be able to trigger this event.
For instance, MPEG2 on Amlogic hardware does not support resolution
switching on the fly, and a decode session must operate at a set
resolution defined before the decoding start.
Add a enum_fmt format flag to tag those specific formats.
