Introduce fourcc codes for single-channel frame buffer formats with two, four, and sixteen brightness levels, where there is a direct relationship between channel value and brightness. As the number of bits per pixel is less than eight, these rely on proper block handling for the calculation of bits per pixel and pitch. The fill order (the order in which multiple pixels are packed in a byte) is the same order as used for grayscale (2, 4, and 16 levels) images in the PNG specification, Version 1.2. This order is also the recommended and default order (FillOrder = 1) for bilevel and grayscale (16 levels) images in the TIFF 6.0 Specification, and is also used for monochrome images in the PBM file format, monochrome Linux frame buffer logos, and BDF and PSF (Linux kernel) font files.

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.
