Hi Kieran,

Thank you for the patch.

I think we could guarantee proper operation on Gen2, but as DU + VSP operation
isn't enabled in the drivers by default, and as the VYUY format isn't a
strategic target, I think we can ignore that.

How about updating the commit message as follows ?

"The Gen3 VSP used by the DU for display does not support packed the VYUY
pixel format. Gen2 VSP hardware is able to process this format, but DU + VSP
operation isn't enabled on Gen2, and VYUY isn't a strategic format, so it can
be ignored."
