threeeye bc1d038eac REVVL 6 Pro kernel bring-up: full working tree snapshot (2026-09-12)
Squashed backup commit (no shallow-clone history issues) of
xiaomi-mt6833-dev/kernel_xiaomi_mt6833 (lineage-23.2 branch, upstream
commit 9eece662e) plus all fixes applied to get everpal_defconfig building
clean against a modern (GCC 15.2.0) toolchain -- see the previous commit
message on the lineage-23.2 branch (also in this repo history is not
available here since this is a squashed snapshot; full incremental history
lives in the local DL380 checkout and the upstream GitHub remote).

YUV Formats
***********
YUV is the format native to TV broadcast and composite video signals. It
separates the brightness information (Y) from the color information (U
and V or Cb and Cr). The color information consists of red and blue
*color difference* signals, this way the green component can be
reconstructed by subtracting from the brightness component. See
:ref:`colorspaces` for conversion examples. YUV was chosen because
early television would only transmit brightness information. To add
color in a way compatible with existing receivers a new signal carrier
was added to transmit the color difference signals. Secondary in the YUV
format the U and V components usually have lower resolution than the Y
component. This is an analog video compression technique taking
advantage of a property of the human visual system, being more sensitive
to brightness information.
