Looks consistent with the official word in drm_fourcc.h.

$ python3 -m pfg find-compatible V4L2_PIX_FMT_XBGR32 drm
Format: V4L2_PIX_FMT_XBGR32
Is compatible on all systems with:
DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888
Is compatible on little-endian systems with:
Is compatible on big-endian systems with:

$ python3 -m pfg find-compatible DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888 v4l2
Format: DRM_FORMAT_XRGB8888
Is compatible on all systems with:
V4L2_PIX_FMT_XBGR32
Is compatible on little-endian systems with:
Is compatible on big-endian systems with:

Even works both ways :)

That is quite possible, perhaps even likely. No one really
seems interested in making sure big endian systems actually
work properly. I believe the usual approach is to hack
around semi-rnadomly until the correct colors accidentally
appear on the screen.
