There are some drm drivers that already use the AYUV format defined
here:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fourcc.c#n228

I was going to send in a patch to add the AYUV (and maybe XYUV) format
but I came across this line that leaves me confused:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-vid-common.c#n164

It appears that when YUV32 was added, the intention was to mimic AYUV.
And, unless I am utterly mistaken, the alpha_mask of 0x000000ff
suggests that the alpha component is expected to be found in the 
LSB (LE) bits indicating a memory layout of VUYA. Am I interpreting 
this incorrectly?

Vivek
