P012 is not required, you can just use P016. All these P*  formats
have the advantage of being aligned to MSB, which means the bitdepth
does not matter for their layout.
Instead you can use P016 and if you must know, look at a bitdepth
value separately.

Tracking it separately does not seem fun - it looks to me like it would require 
adding a new bit depth field to AVFrame.

FFmpeg has always used pixfmt as defining both the memory layout and which bits are used in that (so, for example, ARGB and 0RGB are not the same thing), unlike most of the graphics APIs which tend to define those two separately.
