Benjamin Gaignard July 22, 2024, 3:05 p.m. UTC
  When the index field is ORed with V4L2_FMT_FLAG_ENUM_ALL the driver
will ignore any configuration and enumerate all the possible formats.
Drivers which do not support this flag yet always return an EINVAL
error code.

changes in version 5:
- Reset the proposal to follow Hans's advices
- Add new flag to be used with index field.

You need to start a new paragraph before 'When'. Otherwise you might read
that the 'When' sentence is somehow related to the previous sentence.

I'd rephrase this a little bit:

the driver will enumerate all the possible formats, ignoring any limitations
from the current configuration.

And after that I would like to see an example of a use-case.

I am not really happy with this name since the prefix is identical to that
of other V4L2_FMT_FLAG_ defines. How about: V4L2_FMTDESC_FLAG_ENUM_ALL?
Or V4L2_FMT_IDX_ENUM_ALL?

Should the flag be kept on return of VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT or should it be cleared?
For reference: VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL will clear the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag.

Regardless of what we pick, it should be documented.

I will use V4L2_FMTDESC_FLAG_ENUM_ALL in the next version.
