Hi,
Just to clarify, when listing the supported formats of a video node, the node lists
the formats that the video node as an independent media entity support.
It does not mean that the 'camera' as a whole (that is, the media topology graph) supports
all the formats that the video node lists. When interacting with a video node or
a subdevice node, one interacts only with that specific entity.
In the case of vimc, the RGB video node as an independent entity supports BA24 so the format
appears in the list of the its supported formats. But since the Debayer does not
support it, the format can not be generated by the entire vimc topology.
This is not a bug.

Hope t was helpful,
Dafna
