[v3,08/10] drm/fourcc: Clarify the meaning of single-channel "red"

Commit Message

Traditionally, the first channel has been called the "red" channel, but
the fourcc values for single-channel "red" formats can also be used for
other single-channel formats with a direct relationship between channel
value and brightness, like grayscale.
