Because imx-drm is actually a misnomer. The i.MX IPU is a multifunction
device, which as one part has the display controllers, but also camera
interfaces and mem-to-mem scaler devices, which are hooked up via the
V4L2 interface.

The generic IPU part, which is used for example for programming the DMA
channels is using V4L2 pixel formats as a common base. We have patches
to split this out and make this fact more visible. (The IPU core will be
placed aside the Tegra host1x driver)

Regards,
Lucas
