To be exact, I was referring to this bit of code:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman/tree/pixman/pixman-access.c?h=0.34&id=pixman-0.34.0#n51

Depending on endianess, it starts counting from either MSB or LSB.

If we can be sure we never want to start counting from LSB, we're good.
Or just add another format.

There are 8 and 16 bits per pixel: c8, rgb332, rgb565, argb4444,
argb1555, etc.
