8Bit -> 8-bit

10Bit -> 10-bit

What is not clear from this description is if these formats are opaque, i.e. the
only way to decompress is through hardware, or if they can be decompressed in
software. If so, a reference to Qualcomm documentation would be useful. See e.g.
the V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C description (that's an opaque format).

8bit -> 8-bit
10bit -> 10-bit

(similar to the other descriptions)

compresed -> compressed
