Thee Y8 format isn't special as it's just a plain 8-bit format. The Y10 format
is indeed not byte-addressable, but don't be too fast to dismiss it as crazy,
this kind of format is pretty common outside of the desktop graphics world.
There are even 10-bit formats with 3 components where the 8 LSBs of each
component are stored in three bytes, and the 2 MSBs are grouped in a fourth
byte with 2 bits of padding (or possibly with LSB and MSB switched, I can't
remember right now).
