Looks like we both unfortunately not looked at each others series then, or at least I missed the HDR formats part.

I sent a patch to fix the conflicts. There's already XVYU2101010 in that series, which is
Y410 without alpha. I've extended it and used it to convert i915. It's unfortunate those
conflicts happen, but fortunately it didn't spread to drm-next or linux-next.

Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/292977/?series=58182&rev=1

Tested it, basic tests seems to work for i915.
