Do you mean it would be better if it is called as NV12_10?

I will.

The kernel used in rockchip has supported that format in drm driver, but 
just we don't have a agreement about the pixel format. As the Gstreamer 
and some others would call it with a P010_ prefix, but Mark(rockchip's 
drm author) prefer the something like NV12_10, that is why I sent out 
those patches, I want the upstream decided its final name.
