The switch statement in mipi_dsi_pixel_format_to_bpp() handles every value in
the enumeration, so I think the -EINVAL is just there to keep GCC from
complaining. If we do want to handle this case, it would need to be in
sun6i_dsi_attach(), since the other places we use mipi_dsi_pixel_format_to_bpp()
are way too late to handle any errors.
