That's not correct. The 3D GPU can sample directly from YUYV, so it's
the optimal zero-copy format if you are going to use the video with the
3D GPU. Most of the 2D GPU cores (and I think the one of the 8MM is no
exception) can handle planar formats, some of them only at reduced rate
of 1 Pixel/clock, instead of the usual 2 Pixels/clock.

The display controller on the 8MM is derived from the existing simple
eLCDIF controllers found on earlier i.MX SoCs. 8MQ is the only one with
the very capable DCSS display controller. In fact the 8MQ DCSS is
upstream, what is missing is the Cadence eDP/HDMI bridge driver. The
MIPI-DSI controller and PHY on the 8MM is Samsung IP.
