Ah, I was confused and wrote something strange. Yeah, these two are the same. Sorry for that. So, the suggestion is to add a field "planes_layout" in virtio_video_format_desc, which is one of the following enums: enum virtio_video_planes_layout { VIRTIO_VIDEO_PLANES_LAYOUT_UNSPEC = 0, /* no special requirement */ VIRTIO_VIDEO_PLANES_LAYOUT_CONTIGUOUS, }; If we have a better idea or naming, please let me know.
