As far as I could tell from looking at patch 1/9, the only visible
change for userspace will be the device name, so I'd be fine with this.

I would suggest to leave the pixel format as it is. Rationale: the data
really is greyscale image intensity data (as also evidenced by [1]), not
just a synthetic image, and changing the pixel format would break all
userspace tools.
