With above device tree, you will find below media device in linux.

Device topology
- entity 1: xilinx-mem2mem (2 pads, 2 links)
            type Node subtype V4L flags 0
            device node name /dev/video0
        pad0: Sink
                <- "a0100000.scaler":1 [ENABLED]
        pad1: Source
                -> "a0100000.scaler":0 [ENABLED]

- entity 6: a0100000.scaler (2 pads, 2 links)
            type V4L2 subdev subtype Unknown flags 0
            device node name /dev/v4l-subdev0
        pad0: Sink
                [fmt:RBG888_1X24/1280x720 field:none]
                <- "xilinx-mem2mem":1 [ENABLED]
        pad1: Source
                [fmt:RBG888_1X24/1920x1080 field:none]
                -> "xilinx-mem2mem":0 [ENABLED]

First configure Scaler sink and src pads to required formats.

Below command set SC Sink pad to 1920X1080 RGB and Src pad to 1280X720 RGB.

media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "\"a0100000.scaler\":0 [fmt:RBG888_1X24/1920x1080 field:none]"
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "\"a0100000.scaler\":1 [fmt:RBG888_1X24/1280x720 field:none]"

Then fire the GST command. Here 1920X1080 RGB is the input to the v4l2video0convert and the output is scaled to 1280X720 RGB

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=10 ! video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080, format=RGB ! v4l2video0convert capture-io-mode=4 output-io-mode=4 ! video/x-raw, width=1280, height=720, format=RGB ! filesink location=tmp0.rgb

Command to scale YUY2

media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "\"a0100000.scaler\":1 [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/1920x1080 field:none]"
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 -V "\"a0100000.scaler\":0 [fmt:UYVY8_1X16/1280x720 field:none]"

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! video/x-raw, width=1280, height=720, format=YUY2 ! v4l2video0convert capture-io-mode=4 output-io-mode=4 ! video/x-raw, width=1920, height=1080, format=YUY2 ! filesink location=tmp0.yuy2
