FWIW, I read a bit about FOURCC and also investigated the cpu_to_le32 and similar macros. I think the v4 I sent should work well, without the sparse warnings. I've also made the v4 separate from the DRM patch set, so as to avoid multiple tree complications and hindering the DRM driver upstream process. For now %p4cc was the best format helper I could find upstream, but I would prefer using %p4cl (little endian) instead for appletbdrm. And this patch imo is needed simply because we need better format helpers, rather than using workarounds to swap bits and using other format helpers.
