Yes that's wrong. I'll fix.

Btw I read over Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/dev-subdev.rst (can't
remember if I ever did!), and it clears up a lot. I do see I'm doing some
other things wrong as well:

-  Formats should be propagated from sink pads to source pads. Modifying
    a format on a source pad should not modify the format on any sink
    pad.

I don't believe I'm affecting the source pad formats during sink pad
negotiation, or vice-versa, yet. But I will, once the pixel width alignment
optimization is implemented based on whether the output format is planar.
And I'll keep this direction-of-propagation rule in mind when I do so.

-  Sub-devices that scale frames using variable scaling factors should
    reset the scale factors to default values when sink pads formats are
    modified. If the 1:1 scaling ratio is supported, this means that
    source pads formats should be reset to the sink pads formats.

I'm not resetting the scaling factors on sink pad format change in
the scaling subdevs (imx-ic-prpenc and imx-ic-prpvf). Will fix that.
