Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 3/3] drm/afbc: Add AFBC modifier usage documentation
AFBC is a flexible, proprietary, lossless compression protocol and
format, with a number of defined DRM format modifiers. To facilitate
consistency and compatibility between different AFBC producers and
consumers, document the expectations for usage of the AFBC DRM format
modifiers in a new .rst chapter.

+===================================
+ Arm Framebuffer Compression (AFBC)
+===================================
+
+AFBC is a proprietary lossless image compression protocol and format.
+It provides fine-grained random access and minimizes the amount of
+data transferred between IP blocks.
+
+AFBC can be enabled on drivers which support it via use of the AFBC
+format modifiers defined in drm_fourcc.h. See DRM_FORMAT_MOD_ARM_AFBC(*).
+
+All users of the AFBC modifiers must follow the usage guidelines laid
+out in this document, to ensure compatibility across different AFBC
+producers and consumers.
+
+Components and Ordering
+=======================
+
+AFBC streams can contain several components - where a component
+corresponds to a color channel (i.e. R, G, B, X, A, Y, Cb, Cr).
+The assignment of input/output color channels must be consistent
+between the encoder and the decoder for correct operation, otherwise
+the consumer will interpret the decoded data incorrectly.
+
+Furthermore, when the lossless colorspace transform is used
+(AFBC_FORMAT_MOD_YTR, which should be enabled for RGB buffers for
+maximum compression efficiency), the component order must be:
+
+ * Component 0: R
+ * Component 1: G
+ * Component 2: B
+
+The component ordering is communicated via the fourcc code in the
+fourcc:modifier pair. In general, component '0' is considered to
+reside in the least-significant bits of the corresponding linear
+format. For example, COMP(bits):
+
+ * DRM_FORMAT_ABGR8888
+
+ * Component 0: R(8)
+ * Component 1: G(8)
+ * Component 2: B(8)
+ * Component 3: A(8)
+
+ * DRM_FORMAT_BGR888
+
+ * Component 0: R(8)
+ * Component 1: G(8)
+ * Component 2: B(8)
+
+ * DRM_FORMAT_YUYV
+
+ * Component 0: Y(8)
+ * Component 1: Cb(8, 2x1 subsampled)
+ * Component 2: Cr(8, 2x1 subsampled)
+
+In AFBC, 'X' components are not treated any differently from any other
+component. Therefore, an AFBC buffer with fourcc DRM_FORMAT_XBGR8888
+encodes with 4 components, like so:
+
+ * DRM_FORMAT_XBGR8888
+
+ * Component 0: R(8)
+ * Component 1: G(8)
+ * Component 2: B(8)
+ * Component 3: X(8)
+
+Please note, however, that the inclusion of a "wasted" 'X' channel is
+bad for compression efficiency, and so it's recommended to avoid
+formats containing 'X' bits. If a fourth component is
+required/expected by the encoder/decoder, then it is recommended to
+instead use an equivalent format with alpha, setting all alpha bits to
+'1'. If there is no requirement for a fourth component, then a format
+which doesn't include alpha can be used, e.g. DRM_FORMAT_BGR888.
+
+Number of Planes
+================
+
+Formats which are typically multi-planar in linear layouts (e.g. YUV
+420), can be encoded into one, or multiple, AFBC planes. As with
+component order, the encoder and decoder must agree about the number
+of planes in order to correctly decode the buffer. The fourcc code is
+used to determine the number of encoded planes in an AFBC buffer,
+matching the number of planes for the linear (unmodified) format.
+Within each plane, the component ordering also follows the fourcc
+code:
+
+For example:
+
+ * DRM_FORMAT_YUYV: nplanes = 1
+
+ * Plane 0:
+
+ * Component 0: Y(8)
+ * Component 1: Cb(8, 2x1 subsampled)
+ * Component 2: Cr(8, 2x1 subsampled)
+
+ * DRM_FORMAT_NV12: nplanes = 2
+
+ * Plane 0:
+
+ * Component 0: Y(8)
+
+ * Plane 1:
+
+ * Component 0: Cb(8, 2x1 subsampled)
+ * Component 1: Cr(8, 2x1 subsampled)
+
+Cross-device interoperability
+=============================
+
+For maximum compatibility across devices, the table below defines
+canonical formats for use between AFBC-enabled devices. Formats which
+are listed here must be used exactly as specified when using the AFBC
+modifiers. Formats which are not listed should be avoided.
