Those properties are very similar, indeed but not exactly the same. The
one you noticed maps Xilinx video data format on AXI4-Stream transport
that covers color space and chroma subsampling only. The rest of the
signal attributes are either conventional or left out. MEDIA_BUS_FMT_*
collection is more specific and embeds additional information about
video signals, like bits per component and component ordering.
