It depends on  the definition of the pixel format. AYUV is defined as
4 consecutive BYTEs, which means its identical on LE and BE.
Y210 is defined as being stored as an array of 4 WORDs (Y0, U, Y1, V).
For a WORD, the difference of LE/BE matters.
Y410 is defined as being stored as a single DWORD, again LE/BE matters here.

Obviously the differences in LE/BE need to be implemented properly as
well, for Y210 for each WORD, and for Y410 for the entire DWORD.
