media: docs: move fourcc file to the uAPI document
This file gives a hint about how fourcc should be named. It is on a very weird place, as such kind of thing belongs to the uAPI guide. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

Guidelines for Video4Linux pixel format 4CCs
|
||||
============================================
|
||||
|
||||
Guidelines for Video4Linux 4CC codes defined using v4l2_fourcc() are
|
||||
specified in this document. First of the characters defines the nature of
|
||||
the pixel format, compression and colour space. The interpretation of the
|
||||
other three characters depends on the first one.
|
||||
|
||||
Existing 4CCs may not obey these guidelines.

||||

||||
Raw bayer
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
The following first characters are used by raw bayer formats:
|
||||
|
||||
- B: raw bayer, uncompressed
|
||||
- b: raw bayer, DPCM compressed
|
||||
- a: A-law compressed
|
||||
- u: u-law compressed
|
||||
|
||||
2nd character: pixel order
|
||||
|
||||
- B: BGGR
|
||||
- G: GBRG
|
||||
- g: GRBG
|
||||
- R: RGGB
|
||||
|
||||
3rd character: uncompressed bits-per-pixel 0--9, A--
|
||||
|
||||
4th character: compressed bits-per-pixel 0--9, A--
