Basically, it was defined based on fourcc.org. but in the current fourcc.org
DIV3, DIV4, DIV5, DX50 have been described. But we need one more thing to
differentiate
DX53(DIV 5.03 ~) from DX50. which is required for MFC HW. Practically, to
decode higher 
version of DivX5.03, we should set DX53 format. But
DX53(V4L2_PIX_FMT_DIVX503) is 
NOT yet included in [RFC/PATCH v6 1/4] Changes in include/linux/videodev2.h
for MFC 5.1
