Hi Geert,
the same comment here as for C1 and R1 formats, need to specify pixel
ordering inside a byte.
I think it would also be good to explain the rationale why C1 and R1
are not suitable for this case and we need yet another 1-bit format in
the commit message.
For posterity, of course. I roughly remember the discussions.
I also wonder if anyone would actually use D1. Should it be added
anyway? There is no rule that a pixel format must be used inside the
kernel AFAIK, but is there even a prospective userspace wanting this?
Exposing R1 and inverting bits while copying to hardware might be
enough?
Thanks,
pq
