The test function means 'is the framebuffer in RGB565 format if the host
uses big-endian access'. Further below in the file, there are macros
that reverse the order of fields for little-endian hosts.
However, mapping all this to DRM formats is confusing.
According to the documentation, DRM_FORMAT_ is always in little-endian
format. But does that mean that the device uses little endian or that
the host uses little endian? If the device and the host disagree on
endianess, which takes precedence?
In the end, I tried different combinations of tests and DRM formats, and
checked the resulting output on the screen.
Best regards
