The deprecated "format" field will go away at some point, so I'm not
sure the consistency is an argument there.

I guess it doesn't. That's the DRM function here, without any
modification, but from a quick look at the current users of that
function, there's nobody that uses the value directly.

So you might be right there.

pitch is documented as bytes, and the function computing the stride I
added did too. I'll remove the stride one.
