Mauro Carvalho Chehab 8e080c2e6c V4L/DVB (12761): DocBook: add media API specs
The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now,
no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook.

This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium.

<refpurpose>Formats with &frac12; horizontal and vertical
chroma resolution, also known as YUV 4:2:0. One luminance and one
chrominance plane with alternating chroma samples as opposed to

<title>Description</title>
<para>These are two-plane versions of the YUV 4:2:0 format.
The three components are separated into two sub-images or planes. The
Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. For
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12</constant>, a combined CbCr plane
immediately follows the Y plane in memory. The CbCr plane is the same
width, in bytes, as the Y plane (and of the image), but is half as
tall in pixels. Each CbCr pair belongs to four pixels. For example,
Cb<subscript>0</subscript>/Cr<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to
Y'<subscript>00</subscript>, Y'<subscript>01</subscript>,
Y'<subscript>10</subscript>, Y'<subscript>11</subscript>.
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV21</constant> is the same except the Cb and
Cr bytes are swapped, the CrCb plane starts with a Cr byte.</para>
<para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the
CbCr plane has as many pad bytes after its rows.</para>
