Previously it was described as MediaTek block mode, and now as a
MediaTek compressed format. It makes me think you have no idea what
this pixel format really is. Is that right ?

The main reason why I keep asking, is that we often find similarities
between what vendor like to call their proprietary formats. Doing the
proper research helps not creating a mess like in Android where you
have a lot of formats that all point to the same format. I believe
there was the same concern when Samsung wanted to introduce their Z-
flip-Z NV12 tile format. In the end they simply provided sufficient
documentation so we could document it and implement software converters
for test and validation purpose.

regards,
Nicolas
