But the "def_rgb666" bitfield description reports correctly to use bit 0..5 
for each colour component in this mode. Maybe your userland program has a bug 
and forgets to honor the bitfield description?

If you do this change, you also must adapt the "def_rgb666" bitfield 
description.
This structure currently reports the lower 6 bits to be used for this mode:
  blue -> 0..5 (skip 6/7)
  green -> 8..13 (skip 14/15)
  red -> 16..21 (skip 22/23).
