The point of this is mostly to fix
sun4i_frontend_drm_format_to_input_fmt and
sun4i_frontend_drm_format_to_output_fmt, that were reporting the wrong
format (ARGB has never been supported).

The change in the internal format used between the frontend and backend
is a direct consequence of correcting the supported format, but brings
no functional change.

I will update the commit message in the next revision to make it clear
what the nature of this change is.

Thanks for the review!
