If it otherwise resembles NV12 but just has 10 bits per pixel, I think
NV12_10 is a good name for it.

Ack.

I think we haven't really tried to unify the format naming in the past
between the two subsystems. If existing conventions exist on both regarding
this format, then it's probably better to follow those.

Cc Laurent as well.
