Previously it was described as MediaTek block mode, and now as a MediaTek compressed format. It makes me think you have no idea what this pixel format really is. Is that right ?
The main reason why I keep asking, is that we often find similarities between what vendor like to call their proprietary formats. Doing the proper research helps not creating a mess like in Android where you have a lot of formats that all point to the same format. I believe there was the same concern when Samsung wanted to introduce their Z- flip-Z NV12 tile format. In the end they simply provided sufficient documentation so we could document it and implement software converters for test and validation purpose.
