There's no encoding for RGB formats if I understand things correctly, so I'd
set ycbcr_enc to V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_DEFAULT. The transfer function and the
quantization apply to all formats, but I'd be surprised to find a sensor
outputting limited range for RGB.

Have you been able to check whether the sensor outputs limited range of full
range YUV ? If it outputs full range you can hardcode quantization to
V4L2_QUANTIZATION_FULL_RANGE for all formats.
