Hi Louis,

Thanks for appling the suggested changes.

I added some minor style comments, but other than that patch looks
good to me.

> Add documentation around vkms_output and its initialization.
> Add some documentation on pixel conversion functions.
> Update of outdated comments for pixel_write functions.
