Well... :-)

Three drivers seem to support the BGR666 in mainline : sh_veu, s3c-camif and 
exynos4-is. Further investigation shows that the sh_veu driver lists the 
BGR666 format internally but doesn't expose it to userspace and doesn't 
actually support it, so we're down to two drivers.

Looking at the S3C6410 datasheet, it's unclear how the hardware stores RGB666 
pixels in memory. It could be either

Byte 0   Byte 1   Byte 2   Byte 3

-------- ------RR RRRRGGGG GGBBBBBB

or

GGBBBBBB RRRRGGGG ------RR --------

None of those correspond to the RGB666 format defined in the spec.

The Exynos4 FIMC isn't documented in the public datasheet, so I can't check 
how the format is defined.

Furthermore, various Renesas video-related IP cores support many different 
RGB666 variants, on either 32 or 24 bits per pixel, with and without alpha.

Beside a loud *sigh*, any comment ? :-)
