Hi Arnd,

Thank you for the patch.

I might be missing something very obvious, but isn't mf->code already == 
camif_mbus_formats[i] in the else branch ? How about simply

	unsigned int i;

	/* FIXME: constraints against codec or preview path ? */
	pix_lim = &variant->vp_pix_limits[VP_CODEC];

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(camif_mbus_formats); i++)
		if (camif_mbus_formats[i] == mf->code)
			break;

	if (i == ARRAY_SIZE(camif_mbus_formats))
		mf->code = camif_mbus_formats[0];

(I do love the for (...) { ... } else { ... } construct from Python, I miss it 
so much in C.)
