[PATCH] drm/fourcc: Add Apple Interchange layout format modifier

[James Calligeros]

Apple Interchange is a tiled and compressed image layout used
for buffer exchange between Apple hardware blocks. It is
similar to the already-supported GPU_TILED_COMPRESSED layout.

Add a format modifier for Apple Interchange so that it can be
used for buffer exchange.

+ * Apple Interchange layout
+ *
+ * Apple Interchange is a compressed framebuffer format used exclusively for
+ * sharing buffers between hardware blocks (GPU, display controller, video
+ * codecs) on Apple platforms. It is similar to and uses the same compression
+ * scheme as GPU_TILED_COMPRESSED. There is no known uncompressed variant
+ * of Apple Interchange.
+ *
+ * Unlinke the GPU layouts, tile size is not dependent on bit depth. RGB
+ * images and the chroma components of YUV images use 16x16 tiles. The
+ * luma component of YUV images uses 32x32 tiles. Compression tiles
+ * are once again 16x16 with 8 bytes of metadata per compression subtile.
+ *
+ * AGX has limited support for Apple Interchange. It cannot be used for Z/S
+ * buffers or array images, for example. It is intended for scanout buffer
+ * sharing only.
