I don't know for MTK, I don't have the hardware and didn't integrate
their vendor pixel format. For the CODA, I know it works, if there is
no wait in the G_FMT, then I suppose we are being really lucky with the
timing (it would be that the drivers process the SPS/PPS synchronously,
and a simple lock in the G_FMT call is enough to wait). Adding Philipp
in CC, he could explain how this works, I know they use GStreamer in
production, and he would have fixed GStreamer already if that was
causing important issue.
