Subject: [PATCH] drm: rcar-du: Remove packed VYUY support

The Gen3 VSP used by the DU for display does not support packed the VYUY
pixel format. Gen2 VSP hardware is able to process this format, but it
is not officially supported there either and thus it's output can not be
guaranteed.

Remove the format from the capabilities of the DU driver.

Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

I think we could guarantee proper operation on Gen2, but as DU + VSP operation
isn't enabled in the drivers by default, and as the VYUY format isn't a
strategic target, I think we can ignore that.

How about updating the commit message as follows ?

"The Gen3 VSP used by the DU for display does not support packed the VYUY
pixel format. Gen2 VSP hardware is able to process this format, but DU + VSP
operation isn't enabled on Gen2, and VYUY isn't a strategic format, so it can
be ignored."

s/packed the/the packed/

Which was a fault in my original text :)

That sounds fine to me, though I don't think we would even need to state
that 'VYUY isn't a strategic format' once it's simply not available on
the only platform that is enabled to use the VSP. But I don't object to
stating it otherwise.

It could be enabled in the drivers (I have out-of-tree patches for testing
purpose), so the fact that we don't need the format is still important I
think.
