[PATCH v3 0/2] drm/tegra: Support YVU formats

From: Aaron Kling via B4 Relay

This is not directly supported by the display controller hardware.
However, this can be handled efficiently on tegradc by just passing the
chroma planes to the hardware backwards and reporting it as the yuv
equivalent. Nvdisplay has a hardware flag to handle the swap in
hardware.

YVU420 is required by AOSP for software decoded video playback among
other things. An attempt was made to handle this in gralloc by swapping
the chroma planes there, but it wasn't working. This kernel
implementation is working and is more generic anyways. This has been
verified on a SHIELD TV 2019 Pro for the tegradc path and a Jetson TX2
NX for the nvdisplay path.

Changes in v3:
- In patch 1, use the SWAP_UV window group flag instead of manually
swapping for nvdisplay
- In patch 2, support the chroma swapped variants of the other yuv types
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20261018-tegra-drm-yvu420-v2-0-512889103ab4@xxxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- In patch 1, simplify pre-nvdisplay path to a swap of the window base
address
- In patch 1, address sashiko report about failure to copy the new
struct entry in duplicate_state
- In patch 2, address sashiko report that yvu420 was missing from
tegra20_overlays when the targets already support yuv420.
