Only 76 or so characters per line, please.

For pad 0 (sink) the format must be settable freely (as you don't have any
hardware restrictions) and on the pad 2 (source) the driver converts the
format set on the pad 0 according to the hardware functionality. This is
what the link validation from the source pad onwards is based on.
