+Reserved Format Identifiers
+***************************
+
+These formats are not defined by this specification, they are just
+listed for reference and to avoid naming conflicts. If you want to
+register your own format, send an e-mail to the linux-media mailing list
+`https://linuxtv.org/lists.php <https://linuxtv.org/lists.php>`__
+for inclusion in the ``videodev2.h`` file. If you want to share your
+format with other developers add a link to your documentation and send a
+copy to the linux-media mailing list for inclusion in this section. If
+you think your format should be listed in a standard format section
+please make a proposal on the linux-media mailing list.

+ * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-Y4:
+
+ - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y4``
+ - 'Y04 '
+ - Old 4-bit greyscale format. Only the most significant 4 bits of
+ each byte are used, the other bits are set to 0.
+ * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-Y6:
+
+ - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y6``
+ - 'Y06 '
+ - Old 6-bit greyscale format. Only the most significant 6 bits of
+ each byte are used, the other bits are set to 0.
+ * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-S5C-UYVY-JPG:
+
+ - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_S5C_UYVY_JPG``
+ - 'S5CI'
+ - Two-planar format used by Samsung S5C73MX cameras. The first plane
+ contains interleaved JPEG and UYVY image data, followed by meta
+ data in form of an array of offsets to the UYVY data blocks. The
+ actual pointer array follows immediately the interleaved JPEG/UYVY
+ data, the number of entries in this array equals the height of the
+ UYVY image. Each entry is a 4-byte unsigned integer in big endian
+ order and it's an offset to a single pixel line of the UYVY image.
+ The first plane can start either with JPEG or UYVY data chunk. The
+ size of a single UYVY block equals the UYVY image's width
+ multiplied by 2. The size of a JPEG chunk depends on the image and
+ can vary with each line.
+
+ The second plane, at an offset of 4084 bytes, contains a 4-byte
+ offset to the pointer array in the first plane. This offset is
+ followed by a 4-byte value indicating size of the pointer array.
+ All numbers in the second plane are also in big endian order.
+ Remaining data in the second plane is undefined. The information
+ in the second plane allows to easily find location of the pointer
+ array, which can be different for each frame. The size of the
+ pointer array is constant for given UYVY image height.
+
+ In order to extract UYVY and JPEG frames an application can
+ initially set a data pointer to the start of first plane and then
+ add an offset from the first entry of the pointers table. Such a
+ pointer indicates start of an UYVY image pixel line. Whole UYVY
+ line can be copied to a separate buffer. These steps should be
+ repeated for each line, i.e. the number of entries in the pointer
+ array. Anything what's in between the UYVY lines is JPEG data and
+ should be concatenated to form the JPEG stream.
+ * .. _V4L2-PIX-FMT-MT21C:
+
+ - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C``
+ - 'MT21'
+ - Compressed two-planar YVU420 format used by Mediatek MT8173.
+ The compression is lossless.
+ It is an opaque intermediate format and the MDP hardware must be
+ used to convert ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C`` to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12M``,
+ ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M`` or ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420``.

+
+ * - ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PREMUL_ALPHA``
+ - 0x00000001
+ - The color values are premultiplied by the alpha channel value. For
+ example, if a light blue pixel with 50% transparency was described
+ by RGBA values (128, 192, 255, 128), the same pixel described with
+ premultiplied colors would be described by RGBA values (64, 96,
+ 128, 128)
