>From my understanding the VENDOR is actually SAMSUNG for the following
reasons:
 a) V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12MT has  been introduced[1] for the Samsung’s s5p-fimc
driver (which got renamed into exynos4-is[2])
 b) A search on “V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12MT” in the drivers folder only returns
Samsung drivers so far..
