Hi Bertold,
I'm going through old patches in my TODO list and found this one.
It clearly fell through the cracks, for which I apologize.
The problem with this patch is that there is no kernel driver that supports
this format. The general policy is that we don't add formats unless some
driver actually uses it.
That does not appear to be the case here. I assume you use it with some
out-of-tree driver?
Anyway, that's the reason I have to reject it.
Regards,
Hans
