This format differs from e.g. DRM_FORMAT_R8, which encodes
the number of bits in the FOURCC format. What do you envision
for e.g. DRM_FORMAT_Y16? fourcc_code('G', 'R', '1', '6')?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
