This RFC adds the remaining fourcc codes which are needed to cover all currently supported formats in Mali IPs.
There was quite a lengthy discussion on IRC about it - please treat this as RFC and read the commentary below!
This patch is on-top of https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2018-July/184598.html, but note I have changed the fourcc code for XVYU2101010 to be more consistent. We can of course update the previous patch after we have resolved this discussion.

As we look to enable AFBC using DRM format modifiers, we run into problems which we've historically handled via vendor-private details (i.e. gralloc, on Android).
AFBC (as an encoding) is fully flexible, and for example YUV data can be encoded into 1, 2 or 3 encoded "planes", much like the linear equivalents. Component order is also meaningful, as AFBC doesn't necessarily care about what each "channel" of the data it encodes contains. Therefore ABGR8888 and RGBA8888 can be encoded in AFBC with different representations. Similarly, 'X' components may be encoded into AFBC streams in cases where a decoder expects to decode a 4th component.
In addition, AFBC is a licensable IP, meaning that to support the ecosystem we need to ensure that _all_ AFBC users are able to describe the encodings that they need. This is much better achieved by preserving meaning in the fourcc codes when they are combined with an AFBC modifier.
In essence, we want to use the modifier to describe the parameters of the AFBC encode/decode, and use the fourcc code to describe the data being encoded/decoded.
To do anything different would be to introduce redundancy - we would need to duplicate in the modifier information which is _already_ conveyed clearly and non-ambigiously by a fourcc code.
I hope that for RGB this is non-controversial. (BGRA8888 + MODIFIER_AFBC) is a different format from (RGBA8888 + MODIFIER_AFBC).
Possibly more controversial is that (XBGR8888 + MODIFIER_AFBC) is different from (BGR888 + MODIFIER_AFBC). I understand that in some schemes it is not the case - but in AFBC it is so.
Where we run into problems is where there are not already fourcc codes which represent the data which the AFBC encoder/decoder is processing. To that end, we want to introduce new fourcc codes to describe the data being encoded/decoded, in the places where none of the existing fourcc codes are applicable.
Where we don't support an equivalent non-compressed layout, or where no "obvious" linear layout exists, we are proposing adding fourcc codes which have no associated linear layout - because any layout we proposed would be completely arbitrary.
Some formats are following the naming conventions from [2].
The summary of the new formats is: DRM_FORMAT_VUY888 - Packed 8-bit YUV 4:4:4. Y followed by U then V. DRM_FORMAT_VUY101010 - Packed 10-bit YUV 4:4:4. Y followed by U then V. No defined linear encoding. DRM_FORMAT_Y210 - Packed 10-bit YUV 4:2:2. Y followed by U (then Y) then V. 10-bit samples in 16-bit words. DRM_FORMAT_P210 - Semi-planar 10-bit YUV 4:2:2. Y plane, followed by interleaved U-then-V plane. 10-bit samples in 16-bit words. DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_8BIT - Packed 8-bit YUV 4:2:0. Y followed by U then V. No defined linear encoding DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_10BIT - Packed 10-bit YUV 4:2:0. Y followed by U then V. No defined linear encoding DRM_FORMAT_P010 - Semi-planar 10-bit YUV 4:2:0. Y plane, followed by interleaved U-then-V plane. Added in [1].
Please also note that in the absence of AFBC, we would still need to add Y210, P210 and P010.
Full rationale follows:
YUV 4:4:4 8-bit, 1-plane - New format ------------------------------------- The currently defined AYUV format encodes a 4th alpha component, which makes it unsuitable for representing a 3-component YUV 4:4:4 AFBC stream.
The proposed[1] XYUV format which is supported by Mali-DP in linear layout is also unsuitable, because the component order is the opposite of the AFBC version, and it encodes a 4th 'X' component.
DRM_FORMAT_VUY888 is the "obvious" format for a 3-component, packed, YUV 444 8-bit format, with the component order which our HW expects to encode/decode. It conforms to the same naming convention as the existing packed YUV 4:4:4 format. The naming here is meant to be consistent with DRM_FORMAT_AYUV and DRM_FORMAT_XYUV[1]
YUV 4:4:4 10-bit, 1-plane - New format -------------------------------------- There is no currently-defined YUV 4:4:4 10-bit format in drm_fourcc.h, irrespective of number of planes.
The proposed[1] XVYU2101010 format which is supported by Mali-DP in linear layout uses the wrong component order, and also encodes a 4th 'X' component, which doesn't match the AFBC version of YUV 4:4:4 10-bit which we support.
There is no "obvious" linear encoding for a 3-component 10:10:10 packed format, and so DRM_FORMAT_VUY101010 defines a component order, but not a bit encoding. Again, the naming is meant to be consistent with DRM_FORMAT_AYUV.
YUV 4:2:2 8-bit, 1-plane ------------------------ The existing DRM_FORMAT_YUYV (and the other component orders) are single-planar YUV 4:2:2 8-bit formats. Following the convention of the component orders of the RGB formats, YUYV has the correct component order for our AFBC encoding (Y followed by U followed by V). We can use YUYV for AFBC YUV 4:2:2 8-bit.
YUV 4:2:2 10-bit, 1-plane - New format -------------------------------------- There is no currently-defined YUV 4:2:2 10-bit format in drm_fourcc.h
DRM_FORMAT_Y210 is analogous to YUYV, but with 10-bits per sample packed into the upper 10-bits of 16-bit samples. This format is supported in both linear and AFBC by Mali GPUs.
YUV 4:2:2 10-bit, 2-plane - New format -------------------------------------- There is no currently-defined YUV 4:2:2 10-bit format in drm_fourcc.h
DRM_FORMAT_P210 is analogous to NV16, but with 10-bits per sample packed into the upper 10-bits of 16-bit samples. This format is supported in both Linear and AFBC by Mali GPUs.
YUV 4:2:0 8-bit, 1-plane - New format ------------------------------------- There is no currently defined single-planar YUV 4:2:0, 8-bit format in drm_fourcc.h. There's differing opinions on whether using the existing fourcc-implied n_planes where possible is a good idea or not when using modifiers.
For me, it's much more "obvious" to use NV12 for 2-plane AFBC and YUV420 for 3-plane AFBC. This keeps the aforementioned separation between the AFBC codec settings (in the modifier) and the pixel data format (in the fourcc). With different vendors using AFBC, this helps to ensure that there is no confusion in interoperation. It also ensures that the AFBC modifiers describe AFBC itself (which is a licensable component), and not implementation details which are not defined by AFBC.
The proposed[1] X0L0 format which Mali-DP supports with Linear layout is unsuitable, as it contains a 4th 'X' component, and our AFBC decoder expects only 3 components.
To that end, we propose a new YUV 4:2:0 8-bit format. There is no "obvious" linear encoding for a 3-component 8:8:8, 4:2:0, packed format, and so DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_8BIT defines a component order, but not a bit encoding. I'm happy to hear different naming suggestions.
YUV 4:2:0 8-bit, 2-, 3-plane ---------------------------- These already exist, we can use NV12 and YUV420.
YUV 4:2:0 10-bit, 1-plane - New format ------------------------------------- As above, no current definition exists, and X0L2 encodes a 4th 'X' channel.
Analogous to DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_8BIT, we define DRM_FORMAT_YUV420_10BIT.
YUV 4:2:0 10-bit, 2-plane - New format -------------------------------------- The proposed[1] (and relatively common) P010 is a 2-plane, 10-bit YUV format, which has the correct component order for our AFBC encoding.
