So to be clear the DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_8BIT/10BIT fourccs define that this is a
buffer containing compressed YUV420 in 8 or 10 bit and the modifier tells userspace
which compression is used, right?

And we would add V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420_8BIT/_10BIT that, I assume, use the same
fourcc values as the DRM variants?

Since these fourccs are basically useless without V4L2 modifier support it would
only make sense in combination with the ext_fmt series.

Hans
