[4/9] media: v4l2: Add JPEG pixel format to v4l2 format info

Represent the JPEG pixel format in the v4l2 format info table.

Note that the bpp is set to 1 which is not a proper way to estimate
the needed buffer size for a given JPEG image. However the compression
ratios of JPEG typically allow fitting the image in a smaller size,
even though extra metadata could increase the total size by an
arbitrary amount. Thus it is not a perfectly safe way to calculate the
size of a JPEG buffer for given dimensions but it still provides a
reasonable approach.

This is ackward, at best. Guesstimating the compressed buffer size is a valid
use case, but this table and the related helper function seems badly suited.
When I look at the stateless decoders that do that, they take into account the
fact that the compression can handle different bit depth, and difference
subsampling (choma idc). In this implementation, JPEG is reduce to 4:4:4, 8bit.

I'd like to reject this change, and recommand coming back with a suitable
integration, so that it can be special cased and the driver can communicate the
required information to narrow down the estimate. And this way, you are actually
making it usable for other compressed format like H.264, HEVC, VP8, VP9 AV1 etc.

Nacked in that form.
