What about adding a DRM_FORMAT_PRIV_NV12MT and force vendor to add
detailed documentation about this new format. Because if the format is
not defined and documented, how will we ever discover if vendors have
similar formats? And if we document all these MB formats "everyone"
uses, then maybe we can get HW vendors to unify on a de facto standard.
It would be nice to have an efficient format supported by everyone,
instead of having to fallback to old linear formats every time you
interact with another device.
