194
195      - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y6``
196      - 'Y06 '
197      - Old 6-bit greyscale format. Only the most significant 6 bits of
198	each byte are used, the other bits are set to 0.
199    * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-S5C-UYVY-JPG:
200
201      - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_S5C_UYVY_JPG``
202      - 'S5CI'
203      - Two-planar format used by Samsung S5C73MX cameras. The first plane
204	contains interleaved JPEG and UYVY image data, followed by meta
205	data in form of an array of offsets to the UYVY data blocks. The
206	actual pointer array follows immediately the interleaved JPEG/UYVY
207	data, the number of entries in this array equals the height of the
208	UYVY image. Each entry is a 4-byte unsigned integer in big endian
209	order and it's an offset to a single pixel line of the UYVY image.
210	The first plane can start either with JPEG or UYVY data chunk. The
211	size of a single UYVY block equals the UYVY image's width
212	multiplied by 2. The size of a JPEG chunk depends on the image and
213	can vary with each line.
214
215	The second plane, at an offset of 4084 bytes, contains a 4-byte
216	offset to the pointer array in the first plane. This offset is
217	followed by a 4-byte value indicating size of the pointer array.
218	All numbers in the second plane are also in big endian order.
219	Remaining data in the second plane is undefined. The information
220	in the second plane allows to easily find location of the pointer
221	array, which can be different for each frame. The size of the
222	pointer array is constant for given UYVY image height.
223
224	In order to extract UYVY and JPEG frames an application can
225	initially set a data pointer to the start of first plane and then
226	add an offset from the first entry of the pointers table. Such a
227	pointer indicates start of an UYVY image pixel line. Whole UYVY
228	line can be copied to a separate buffer. These steps should be
229	repeated for each line, i.e. the number of entries in the pointer
230	array. Anything what's in between the UYVY lines is JPEG data and
231	should be concatenated to form the JPEG stream.
232    * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MT21C:
233
234      - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C``
235      - 'MT21'
236      - Compressed two-planar YVU420 format used by Mediatek MT8173, MT8192,
237        MT8195 and more. The compression is lossless. This format have
238	similitude with ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MM21`` in term of alignment and tiling.
239	It remains an opaque intermediate format and the MDP hardware must be
240	used to convert ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C`` to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12M``,
241	``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M`` or ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420``.

246      - Compressed Macro-tile 8-Bit YUV420 format used by Qualcomm platforms.
247        It is an opaque intermediate format. The used compression is lossless
248        and it is used by various multimedia hardware blocks like GPU, display
249        controllers, ISP and video accelerators.
250        It contains four planes for progressive video and eight planes for
251        interlaced video.

256      - Compressed Macro-tile 10-Bit YUV420 format used by Qualcomm platforms.
257        It is an opaque intermediate format. The used compression is lossless
258        and it is used by various multimedia hardware blocks like GPU, display
259        controllers, ISP and video accelerators.
260        It contains four planes for progressive video.
