I agree these naming are not obvious. In GStreamer, appart from the _LE part,
we've had this historical tendency to just stick with Microsoft names when they
exist. Though Microsoft only define 10 and 16bits (P010/P016, Y210 and Y216). In
this case, the 12 has is derived from it.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/medfound/10-bit-and-16-bit-yuv-video-formats

While P010 is very commonly seen, I don't know if Y210/Y212/Y216 is a great
idea. It is a 16bit component width version of YUYV, which as we know exist in
all sort of swizzling. So the Microsoft name will be hard to extend to other
component order. My argument of keeping it this way though is that it matches
the other copy of pixel formats definition that exist in Linux, which is
drm_fourcc.h.
