Acked-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@....fi>

I'd suggest to rebase this under the DPCM predictor patch. As the choice of
the predictor affects the resulting format, it has to be the same on the
transmitter and the receiver, and also affects the in-memory pixel format.

I'll prepare an RFC on the topic shortly.

Kind regards,
