Chroma key is supported just for hardware that does it. Mostly old ISA hardware
could do chromakey overlay but nothing else. I think the PMS is the only card
with V4L1 one support that ever had chromakey in a production kernel.

Its also analogue side chromakey so "kind of the same shade as" rather than
24bit match.
