Packed 12-Bit Mode
All Pike cameras have the so-called Packed 12-Bit Mode. This means: two 12-
bit pixel values are packed into 3 bytes instead of 4 bytes.
The color codings are implemented via Vendor Unique Color_Coding according
to IIDC V1.31: COLOR_CODING_INQ @ 024h...033h, IDs=128-255)
See Table 149: Format_7 control and status register on page 323.
