I don't think we need to worry about backporting this though. I simply care that
we keep updating -common and encourage using it. The goal of this lib is to
provide a common set of helpers to do calculate format related information. You
don't have to use it at any cost. Allocation is often the cause of memory
corruption issues, and is a very recurrent thing we have to debug and fix.

This was also discussed on IRC yesterday, for Renesas driver, "just porting it"
to use that could mean duplicating the lookup, as Renesas driver also needs its
own map to get the HW specific formats and other information. This looks like a
valid use case to me, and is definitely something -common could improve on.
