The UVC driver provides two metadata types V4L2_META_FMT_UVC, and V4L2_META_FMT_D4XX. The only difference between the two of them is that V4L2_META_FMT_UVC only copies PTS, SCR, size and flags, and V4L2_META_FMT_D4XX copies the whole metadata section. Now we only enable V4L2_META_FMT_D4XX for the Intel D4xx family of devices, but it is useful to have the whole metadata payload for any device where vendors include other metadata, such as the one described by Microsoft: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/stream/mf-capture-metadata This patch introduces a new format V4L2_META_FMT_UVC_MSXU_1_5, that is identical to V4L2_META_FMT_D4XX. Let the user enable this format with a quirk for now. This way they can test if their devices provide useful metadata without rebuilding the kernel. They can later contribute patches to auto-quirk their devices. We will also work in methods to auto-detect devices compatible with this new metadata format.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
