It almost certainly only does color encoding conversion (e.g. from RGB to YCbCr or
vice versa, and from limited to full range or vice versa).

That only affects the ycbcr_enc and quantization fields (although these probably
will just remain 0). The colorspace and xfer_func values remain constant since
the HW is unlikely to support full colorspace conversions.

See https://hverkuil.home.xs4all.nl/spec/uapi/v4l/colorspaces.html for more
information on what colorspaces really are.

Yes, same for try_fmt.
