Add Mediatek's non-compressed 8 bit block video mode. This format is
produced by the MT8183 codec and can be converted to a non-proprietary
format by the MDP3 component.

The SUNXI one was a mistake,  it's linear layout 32x32 tiles. The problem with
calling this a vendor format, is that other vendor might be using it too. But
they won't know and the format might endup duplicated, even if it's the same
one.

So here's my request, have you tried to understand a bit more what the tiling
layout is ? Could be tiled + SAND, could use zigzag layout like Samsung do. I
think if we can avoid vendor formats, we can preserve the pixel format list
sanity here. Most of the HW I've encoutered was very easy to reverse, even if
undocumented (except the compressed one).

If not possible, I would like to suggest:

  V4L2_PIX_FMT_MTK_NV21

The important part is to add a clear seperation for the vendor name, it easy to
recognize then.

Unfortunately I don't think I can look too closely into that, for
non-technical reasons. But if MTK could come forward and document
their format, that would be indeed ideal.

The MTK prefix makes sense, but I do not know if NV21 is a correct
denomination for that format. Note that we have another MTK-only
format currently named V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C, which is already public. It
would be nice to rename it as well, but since it is part of the public
API I'm afraid the cat is already out of the bag for that one...
