Generic 8-bit metadata formats define the in-memory data layout but not
the format of the data itself. The reasoning for having such formats is to
allow CSI-2 receiver drivers to receive and DMA drivers to write the data
to memory without knowing a large number of device-specific formats.

These formats may be used only in conjunction with a Media Controller
pipeline where the internal pad of the source sub-device defines the
specific format of the data (using an mbus code).

since v2:

- Remove the sentence on internal pads, including the cross reference. It
  will be reintroduced later on separately.

+Generic line-based metadata formats
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+These generic line-based metadata formats define the memory layout of the data
+without defining the format or meaning of the metadata itself.
+
+.. _v4l2-meta-fmt-generic-8:
+
+V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_8
+-----------------------
+
+The V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_8 format is a plain 8-bit metadata format. This format
+is used on CSI-2 for 8 bits per :ref:`Data Unit <media-glossary-data-unit>`.
+
+Additionally it is used for 16 bits per Data Unit when two bytes of metadata are
+packed into one 16-bit Data Unit. Otherwise the 16 bits per pixel dataformat is
+:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_CSI2_16 <v4l2-meta-fmt-generic-csi2-16>`.
+
+**Byte Order Of V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_8.**
+Each cell is one byte. "M" denotes a byte of metadata.

+
+V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_CSI2_10
+-----------------------------
+
+V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_CSI2_10 contains 8-bit generic metadata packed in 10-bit
+Data Units, with one padding byte after every four bytes of metadata. This
+format is typically used by CSI-2 receivers with a source that transmits
+MEDIA_BUS_FMT_META_10 and the CSI-2 receiver writes the received data to memory
+as-is.
+
+The packing of the data follows the MIPI CSI-2 specification and the padding of
+the data is defined in the MIPI CCS specification.
+
+This format is also used in conjunction with 20 bits per :ref:`Data Unit
+<media-glossary-data-unit>` formats that pack two bytes of metadata into one
+Data Unit. Otherwise the 20 bits per pixel dataformat is
+:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_CSI2_20 <v4l2-meta-fmt-generic-csi2-20>`.
+
+This format is little endian.
+
+**Byte Order Of V4L2_META_FMT_GENERIC_CSI2_10.**
+Each cell is one byte. "M" denotes a byte of metadata and "x" a byte of padding.

+is typically used by CSI-2 receivers with a source that transmits

+
+This format is also used in conjunction with 24 bits per :ref:`Data Unit
