[PATCH v2 RFC 10/10] drm/fourcc: Add DRM_FORMAT_D[1248]

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Mon Mar 07 2022 - 15:54:34 EST


As Rn is light-on-dark, and Cn can be any colors, there are currently
no fourcc codes to describe dark-on-light displays.

Introduce fourcc codes for a single-channel dark-on-light frame buffer
format with two, four, sixteen, or 256 darkness levels.

As the number of bits per pixel may be less than eight, some of these
formats rely on proper block handling for the calculation of bits per
pixel and pitch.

RFC, as I have no immediate need for these formats.

v2:
- Add rationale for adding new formats,
- Improve pixel descriptions,
- Add D[248] for completeness.
