This commit is the groundwork to introduce new formats to the planes and
writeback buffer. As part of it, a new buffer metadata field is added to
`vkms_writeback_job`, this metadata is represented by the `vkms_frame_info`
struct.
Also adds two new function pointers (`line_to_frame_func` and
`frame_to_line_func`) are defined to handle format conversion
from/to internal format.
A new internal format(`struct pixel_argb_u16`) is introduced to deal with
all possible inputs. It consists of 16 bits fields that represent each of
the channels.
These things will allow us, in the future, to have different compositing
and wb format types.
V2: Change the code to get the drm_framebuffer reference and not copy its
contents (Thomas Zimmermann).
V3: Drop the refcount in the wb code (Thomas Zimmermann).
V5: Add {wb,plane}_format_transform_func to vkms_writeback_job
and vkms_plane_state (Pekka Paalanen)
V6: Improvements to some struct/struct members names (Pekka Paalanen).
Splits this patch in two (Pekka Paalanen).
V7: Replace line_to_frame_func and frame_to_line_func typedefs
with the function signature and void* (Melissa Wen).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
