[PATCH] drm/fourcc: Add modifier definition for describing Verisilicon video framebuffer

Verisilicon hardware video decoders can produce tiled (8x4 or 4x4)
and compressed video framebuffers.
It considerably reduces memory bandwidth while writing and reading
frames in memory.

The underlying storage in NV12 (for 8-bit) or NV15 (for 10-bit).

Display controllers, like imx DCSS, could use these modifier definition
as input for overlay planes.

The original code comes from:
https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/commit/ab01b7fe82d5a11dfb533cfbd08c4dfa140815de
I have port it and modify DRM_FORMAT_MOD_VENDOR_VSI value.
