Its not out of scope, its just not being worked on. There is no infra to support
an extra 64bit modifier in V4L2 atm, or to use DRM formats in general. Folks
form Qualcomm or Mediatek didn't want to do it, so they worked around by adding
their strictly needed subset of compressed formats. If you don't want this, then
fine, but I'm not aware of someone actively working on that today.

I was just curious if there was anything other then NV12 (something 10bit) on
the secondary buffer case, that was my initial question here ;-D.
