The media documentation says that the V4L2_COLORSPACE_SMPTE170M colorspace
should be used for SDTV and V4L2_COLORSPACE_REC709 for HDTV. But drivers
don't agree on the display resolution that should be used as a threshold.

Some drivers set V4L2_COLORSPACE_REC709 for 720p and higher while others
set V4L2_COLORSPACE_REC709 for anything higher than 576p. Newers drivers
use the latter and that also matches what user-space multimedia programs
do (i.e: GStreamer), so change the driver logic to be aligned with this.

Also, check for the resolution in G_FMT instead unconditionally setting
the V4L2_COLORSPACE_REC709 colorspace.

It would be nice to refer to some specification to justify the change,
rather than "let's follow what <random-piece-of-software> does".

EIA CEA 861B talks about colorimetry for various resolutions:

5.1 480p, 480i, 576p, 576i, 240p, and 288p
The color space used by the 480-line, 576-line, 240-line, and 288-line
formats will likely be based on SMPTE 170M [1].

5.2 1080i, 1080p, and 720p
The color space used by the high definition formats will likely be based
on ITU-R BT.709-4 [6].

Notice, however, that it says "will likely be" - it's not a requirement,
as it's expected that the colorspace will be part of the media metadata
(eg, contained in the transport stream.)  In other words, it should be
configurable or ultimately provided by the ultimate source of the image.

Colorspace information is transmitted as part of HDMI/DisplayPort meta-information
(AVI InfoFrames, see CEA/CTA 861).

Compressed video typically encodes the colorspace information as well.

SDTV never had metainformation and you should fall back to SMPTE170M.

Webcams/sensors should give sRGB unless otherwise indicated. If it is a sensor
that expects further processing, then COLORSPACE_RAW can be used.

Anything else is typically sRGB.

Note that sRGB and SMPTE170M can be considered fall-back colorspaces in the
absence of any other information.

Regards,

	Hans
