Well, as I understand the way to use it is:
- Decide if it's RGB or YUV
- Choose the right fallback function
- get a fallback table according to the chroma

Which means if we have a RGB chroma, we'll get a RGB fallback table,
based on different bpp.

But, with v4l2 output, I think we want to equally try YUV & RGB,
starting with their highest bpp to preserve quality.

Ex: Device has RGB8 and 24bpp YUV. Video is RGB32.
vlc_fourcc_GetRGBFallback would end selecting RGB8.
It should have been YUV, no ?
