IIUIC, this is a completely different scenario than "low" or "high" wiring
of 8-bit YCbCr-422, hence YDS does not apply?

The iWave G21D-Q7 wiring seems to be 10-bit YCbCr-422 with the 2 LSB
bits unconnected?

Interestingly, that mode is supported on all RZ/G1 SoCs, on most R-Car
Gen3 SoCs, but only on a single R-Car Gen2 SoC (V2H).
