[PATCH] drm/fourcc: Add bayer formats and modifiers

Bayer formats are used with cameras and contain green, red and blue
components, with alternating lines of red and green, and blue and green
pixels in different orders. For each block of 2x2 pixels there is one
pixel with a red filter, two with a green filter, and one with a blue
filter. The filters can be arranged in different patterns.

Add DRM fourcc formats to describe the most common Bayer formats. Also
add a modifiers to describe the custom packing layouts used by the Intel
IPU3 and in the MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) CSI-2
specification.

+ * Bayer formats
+ *
+ * Bayer formats contain green, red and blue components, with alternating lines
+ * of red and green, and blue and green pixels in different orders. For each
+ * block of 2x2 pixels there is one pixel with a red filter, two with a green
+ * filter, and one with a blue filter. The filters can be arranged in different
+ * patterns.
+ *
+ * For example, RGGB:
+ *	row0: RGRGRGRG...
+ *	row1: GBGBGBGB...
+ *	row3: RGRGRGRG...
+ *	row4: GBGBGBGB...
+ *	...
+ *
+ * Vendors have different methods to pack the sampling formats to increase data
+ * density. For this reason the fourcc only describes pixel sample size and the
+ * filter pattern for each block of 2x2 pixels. A modifier is needed to
+ * describe the memory layout.
+ *
+ * In addition to vendor modifiers for memory layout DRM_FORMAT_MOD_LINEAR may
+ * be used to describe a layout where all samples are placed consecutively in
+ * memory. If the sample does not fit inside a single byte, the sample storage
+ * is extended to the minimum number of (little endian) bytes that can hold the
+ * sample and any unused most-significant bits are defined as padding.
+ *
+ * For example, SRGGB10:
+ * Each 10-bit sample is contained in 2 consecutive little endian bytes, where
+ * the 6 most-significant bits are unused.
