Yes, I have a plan to apply fb_modifier for exynos with kms interface of
hdmi.

I am not sure msm mdp uses exactly same format with exynos, but anyway
v4l2 NV12MT format was introduced for exynos hw video codec.

macro blocks for the format is laid z-order and each pixel data in each
macro block is just normal NV12 style.

I think Marek and Sylwester can help understanding the format.
