Can you explain what does the sentinel here? I don't think the DRM core
requires this sentinel, and you don't use it in your API.

I don't think the C side requires to have this extra 0 field. For example
in "C"VKMS there is no such "sentinel" at the end of the list [1]. Do you
think I need to add one in VKMS?

Same here

I don't understand this "num_components" and why the alpha channel
is added to the result? For me a component could be "plane count" or
"color channels count", but your function is not returning any of this.
For example in the table [1], BGRA5551 have 4 color components (R, G, B
and A), but only have one plane, so your function will return two, what
does this two means?

And here, I think there is an issue, again with BGRA5551 for example, one
plane, with alpha channel, you are returning a slice with two members,
instead of only one.
