Do we really needs this for blocky formats where this is potentially
ill-defined? I think if there's no need then this should also return 0
when block_width/height != 1, it doesn't make much sense to compute bpp
when it's not really bits per _pixel_.
Yes, we do need this. For low-color formats, the number of bits
per pixel is less than eight, and block_width is larger than one.
That is actually the point of this patch.
Minimally this needs to check whether the division actually makes sense or
whether there's a reminder, and if there's reminder, then fail. But that
feels like a bad hack and I think we should avoid it if it's not
absolutely necessary.
Looking at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fourcc.c, the only supported format
where there can be a remainder is P030, which has 2 spare bits per
32-bit word, and thus is special anyway.
Still, 4 * 8 / 3 = 10, so you get the correct numbers of bits for
the first plane. For the second plane, you get 8 * 8 / 3 = 21,
but as .is_yuv = true, you have to divide that result by two again,
so you get 10 again.
