Ahh, I wasn't aware of that (I'm using 9g45). I guess we need to do
something similar to what I did for the palette handling:

https://github.com/at91linux/linux-at91/commit/7a256fc44c1892ad3166363ba309d9996a49e7b8

E.G. keep the RBG555/BGR555 format for the old devices, and my proposed
change for the new ones. I'll cook something up.
