The patch generally LGTM. The only nit is the name of
'emulation_format'. My first impression was that it is a format that the
driver is emulating to userspace, however it looks like this is
over-the-wire format (with the RGB666 vs RGB888 note kept in mind).

If my understanding is correct, I'd suggest renaming emulation_format
to something like 'raw_format' or 'panel_format'.
