Hi Randy,

Thanks for the patch.

The formats added by this patch are:
V4L2_PIX_FMT_P010
V4L2_PIX_FMT_P010M
Currently, none of driver uses those format, but some video device
has been confirmed with could as those format for video output.
The Rockchip's new decoder has supported those format for profile_10
HEVC/AVC video.

If the format resembles the existing formats but on a different bit depth,
it should be named in similar fashion.
Do you mean it would be better if it is called as NV12_10?

Could you also add ReST documentation for the format, please?
I will.

The common requirement for merging patches that change interfaces has been
that there's a user for that change. It'll still help you to get this
The kernel used in rockchip has supported that format in drm driver, but just we don't have a agreement about the pixel format. As the Gstreamer and some others would call it with a P010_ prefix, but Mark(rockchip's drm author) prefer the something like NV12_10, that is why I sent out those patches, I want the upstream decided its final name.
reviewed now so the interface that the future hopefully-in-mainline driver
provides will not change.
