Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] Add pixel formats used in Synatpics SoC

From: "Hsia-Jun(Randy) Li" <[email protected]>

Those pixel formats are used in Synaptics's VideoSmart series SoCs,
likes VS640, VS680. I just disclose the pixel formats used in the video
codecs and display pipeline this time. Actually any device connected to
the MTR module could support those tiling and compressed pixel formats.

Changelog:
v6:
Refresh and fix warnings in its document.
v5:
Moving back the document and rewriting the description.
v4:
Removed the patches for V4L2, V4L2 would use the drm_fourcc.h .
Moving the documents to the mesa project.
v3:
There was a mistake in format macro.
Correcting the description of 64L4 variant modifiers.
v2:
The DRM modifiers in the first draft is too simple, it can't tell
the tiles in group attribute in memory layout.
Removing the v4l2 fourcc. Adding a document for the future v4l2 extended
fmt.
v1:
first draft of DRM modifiers
Try to put basic tile formats into v4l2 fourcc

+================
+Synaptics Tiling
+================
+
+The tiling pixel formats in Synpatics Video Smart platform have
+many variants. Tiles could form the group of tiles, pixels within
+the group (nearest) width and height are stored into tile.
+Meanwhile, the tile in a group may not follow dimension layout,
+tile could form a small group of tiles, then that (sub)group
+of tiles would form a bigger group. We won't describe the dimension
+layout inside the group of tiles here. The layout of the group
+of tiles is fixed with the group width and height parameters
+in the same generation of the platform.
+
+Compression
+===========
+The proprietary lossless image compression protocol in Synaptics
+could minimizes the amount of data transferred (less memory bandwidth
+consumption) between devices. It would usually apply to the tiling
+pixel format.
+
+Each component would request an extra page aligned length buffer
+for storing the compression meta data. Also a 32 bytes parameters
+set would come with a compression meta data buffer.
+
+The component here corresponds to a signal type (i.e. Luma, chroma).
+They could be encoded into one or multiple metadata planes, but
+their compression parameters still would be individual.
+
+Pixel format modifiers
+======================
+Addition alignment requirement for stride and size of a memory plane
+could apply beyond what has been mentioned below. Remember always
+negotiating with all the devices in pipeline before allocation.

+ * - Identifier

+ in a tile group. The line stride and image height must be aligned to
+ a multiple of 16. The height of chrominance plane would plus 8.
