I just want t tell people we need an extra plane for MVTP and I don't 
have enough space here to place all the pixel formats.

Besides, I was thinking a modifer in v4l2_ext_pix_format is not enough.
Let's take a compression NV12 tile format as an example, we need
1. luma planes
2. chroma planes
3. compression meta data for luma
4. compression meta data for chroma
5. mvtp
and a single data planer version would be
1. luma and chroma data
2. compression meta data
3. mvtp

You see, we actually have 3 kind of data here(not including the 
compression options that I am thinking of storing them somewhere else).

Yes, I like that.
Proposal: A third buffer type for the reconstruction buffers in V4L2 M2M 
encoder
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg214565.html

Although the major usage for the decoder here is producing the non-tile 
buffers, the decoder of us could product the NV12 or the pixel formats 
that GPU likes, but it must happen at the same time a frame is decoded.
Still the reference buffer or we call them the real decoded frame would 
stay in a tiled format. More than one queue would be need here.
