Sorry, on Gen2 (all but V2H, to make matters more complicated), the DATA pins
are not numbered from 0 to 23, but split in 3 blocks of 8 pins, matching R, G,
and B blocks. But apart from the numbering, the formats are mostly the same (4
bit width is the exception, and supported on Gen2 only).
What I meant is the third mode in e.g. Table 26.5, "ITU-R BT.601/BT.709/BT.656
8-bit YCbCr-422 (VnDMR2/YDS = 1)", which uses VI0_G[7:0] instead of VIO_B[7:0]
for transfering 8-bit YCbCr data. Apparently the PFC driver doesn't have a pin
group for that combo.
(I have v2.00 of the datasheet, but the table looks identical in v1.0).

My question was about the second mode in the table, which is the same one
as the third mode on Gen2.
