    Name the formats as DRM_FORMAT_X instead of DRM_FOURCC_X. Use consistent
    names, especially for the RGB formats. Component order and byte order are
    now strictly specified for each format.
    
    The RGB format naming follows a convention where the components names
    and sizes are listed from left to right, matching the order within a
    single pixel from most significant bit to least significant bit.
    
    The YUV format names vary more. For the 4:2:2 packed formats and 2
    plane formats use the fourcc. For the three plane formats the
    name includes the plane order and subsampling information using the
    standard subsampling notation. Some of those also happen to match
    the official fourcc definition.
    
    The fourccs for for all the RGB formats and some of the YUV formats
    I invented myself. The idea was that looking at just the fourcc you
    get some idea what the format is about without having to decode it
    using some external reference.
