Well, you need to generalize the function, that is:
avfilter_add_colorspace() -> avfilter_add_format()

this breaks API/ABI since the function is public, but we don't care as
the API is explicitely declared unstable so those kind of changes are
expected.

And yes you should provide a patch which doesn't break compilation, so
which applies to all the files that are affected by the change.

Regards.
