It won't break anything, certainly, but it's also highly unlikely to
work as desired.  The ov7670 should really be viewed as an analog
circuit with over 100 different little tweakers on it.  Trying to add a
new format by making the obvious changes to the major registers tends to
be a recipe for real pain; there's usually a *lot* of things that have
to change with it.

I need to just poke OmniVision for a set of register settings for
unmolested bayer output - will do soon.

Thanks,
