I think if the cost of defining formats correctly for everyone is that drm
carries a bunch of nice machine-readable entries in its tables that it
never uses, then we should do that. The very few bytes saved aren't worth
any headaches (because on any soc system you anyway have tons more formats
than what your driver is using).
