Hello,

The Xilinx Video mixer IP uses the DRM fourcc string as a device tree binding 
in order to describe the format for a specific DRM layer/plane. Currently, in 
the device tree doc in 
"Documentation/devicetree/bindings/dma/xilinx/xilinx_frmbuf.txt" there is a 
list called "VIDEO FORMATS" with a table containing "Mixer IP Format" and 
associated "Driver supported Format String" (fourcc). In general, this table is 
not helpful, because "Mixer IP Format" does not match the Xilinx IP datasheet 
terminology for formats but rather some other commonly used nomenclature. This 
is also inconsistent from other Xilinx dts binding docs which specify the 
actual correct IP name and at times list other format nomenclature where 
helpful (i.e. xilinx_frmbuf.txt)

My suggestion is to remove the current "Mixer IP Format" strings in the doc and 
replace them with the actual IP names in the datasheet (which also match those 
used in Xilinx's Vivado FPGA tool). Otherwise, the programmer must cross 
reference other dts documentation or the code in order to figure these out. I 
am happy to provide a patch for this but wanted to throw out the suggestion 
first.

Thanks

Sincerely,
Ken Sloat
