Ok, this is really a kickstart for a discussion. While working on
graphics support for virtual machines on ppc64 (which exists in both
little and big endian variants) I've figured the comments in the header
file don't match reality. They are not considered little endian (as
suggested by the comments) but in practice are used as native endian.
So, go update the comments.
This patch switches all 32bpp / 8 bpc formats over to native endian.
Those used/supported by ppc64 virtual machines (virtio-gpu/bochs-drm
drivers).
Given that DRM_FORMAT_BIG_ENDIAN isn't used anywhere in the codebase
I suspect this problem applies to more formats. When looking at
drm_mode_legacy_fb_format it seems *all* RGB formats are actually
native endian not little endian.
Dunno where we stand in terms of YCbCr.
