mipi_dbi_buf_copy() can be used by other rgb565 controllers, hence
the format check I think. So when that happens, it can be moved to
tinydrm-helpers.

Currently it's not possible to get an illegal format, since mipi-dbi
only supports those two formats.
Userspace can't set an illegal format, beacuse it's checked:
drm_atomic_commit -> drm_atomic_check_only -> drm_atomic_plane_check ->
drm_plane_check_pixel_format

So I think we can just leave this alone, or put the check before
import_attach if you really want to put this straight.
