Actually, would setting pipeline via libv4l2 plugin and letting drivers
provide a sane enabled default pipeline configuration be mutually
exclusive? Not sure about the control forwarding, but at least a simple
link setup and format forwarding would also be possible in the kernel
without hindering userspace from doing it themselves later.
