Textures of such formats are loaded as plain R/RG/RGBA in st/mesa due to lack of hardware support. There is no real gallium support for the new formats. The i965 driver is doing the same thing.

The series looks ok to me though I think it would be good if real
etc1/etc2 support was added to gallium (well etc1 is already there).
There's quite plenty of hw with gallium supported drivers which can do
at least some of it:
- all adrenos 2xx/3xx can do etc1 unless I'm mistaken, and adreno 3xx
should be able to do etc2.
- some intel hw (baytrail/gen8) can do etc1/etc2.
- gk20a probably also could do etc1/etc2.

I am actually sort of surprised some amd parts can't do it (kabini and
friends), are you sure they really can't?
