I see. I couldn't find it in my work mailbox for some reason, and I
don't remember having seen the patch before. I suppose I just missed it
due to Christmas vacations, and was too blind to see it in my mailbox.
Also google decicded to filter my search results too much, so I didn't
spot it via the web archives either. I'm sorry for the false accusation.

Since DRM_FORMAT_NV12M is _identical_ to DRM_FORMAT_NV12, I see no point
in adding it (similarly for YUV420M vs. YUV420).
