We had already requested review for it. for this you can refer to link

Yes, right. these formats aren't used for any SoCs except Exynos series yet
but just we are first. I think they should be added because anyone may use
them someday at least possible. but they couldn’t be standard format so we
can send the patch that these formats are removed from drm_fourcc.h anytime
if you are still opposite to my opinion. but please know that at least in
case of v4l2, they have already been used as standard format. For this you
can refer to include/linux/videodev2.h file in mainline and Dave, please
give me your opinion.
