[PATCH v4 5/8] drm/fourcc: amlogic: Add modifier definitions for Memory Saving option

Amlogic uses a proprietary lossless image compression protocol and format
for their hardware video codec accelerators, either video decoders or
video input encoders.

An option exist changing the layout superblock size to save memory when
using 8bit components pixels size.

The layout options starts at the 8th bit, keeping the first 8bits of the
modifiers bits to define the layout.
