Hi Guoniu, Robert,

Thank you for the patch.

What are those Android requirements ?

This doesn't seem right. The value is the same as for
V4L2_PIX_FMT_XBGR32. As far as I understand, the ISI will ignore the
alpha bits (MSBs in the 32-bit data).

This is why the V4L2_PIX_FMT_ABGR32 format doesn't set
MXC_ISI_VIDEO_M2M_OUT: to be supported as an output format (input to the
ISI), we would need a hardware mode where the alpha bits are read from
memory and used by the ISI. I recommend dropping this part of the patch.

Same comment here, this format should not have MXC_ISI_VIDEO_M2M_OUT
set.

Same here too.

The rest looks good. I have tested all the new formats, both on the
input and output side, and have not noticed any issue.
