  13     <para>These formats are designed to match the pixel formats of
  14 typical PC graphics frame buffers. They occupy 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits
  15 per pixel. These are all packed-pixel formats, meaning all the data
  16 for a pixel lie next to each other in memory.</para>

  18     <para>When one of these formats is used, drivers shall report the
  19 colorspace <constant>V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB</constant>.</para>
