I'm fine with hardcoding a default for now. If a given bus wiring (which
is described in DT by bus-width) can transport different formats, that's
something that should be configured dynamically, either by querying what
format a sink (such as a panel) requires, or if both the source and the
sink can support different formats, possibly by involving userspace in
the selection.
