From: "Hsia-Jun(Randy) Li" <randy.li at synaptics.com>

Memory Traffic Reduction(MTR) is a module in Synaptics
VideoSmart platform could process lossless compression image
and cache the tile memory line.

Those modifiers only record the parameters would effort pixel
layout or memory layout. Whether physical memory page mapping
is used is not a part of format.

We would allocate the same size of memory for uncompressed
and compressed luma and chroma data, while the compressed buffer
would request two extra planes holding the metadata for
the decompression.

The reason why we need to allocate the same size of memory for
the compressed frame:
1. The compression ratio is not fixed and differnt platforms could
use a different compression protocol. These protocols are complete
vendor proprietaries, the other device won't be able to use them.
It is not necessary to define the version of them here.

2. Video codec could discard the compression attribute when the
intra block copy applied to this frame. It would waste lots of
time on re-allocation.

I am wondering if it is better to add an addtional plane property to
describe whether the current framebuffer is compressed?
While the compression flag is still a part of format modifier,
because it would have two extra meta data planes in the compression
version.
