media: v4l: Add definition for the Sunxi tiled NV12 format
This introduces support for the Sunxi tiled NV12 format, where each component of the YUV frame is divided into macroblocks. Hence, the size of each plane requires specific alignment. The pixels inside each macroblock are coded in linear order (line after line from top to bottom). This tiled NV12 format is used by the video engine on Allwinner platforms: it is the default format for decoded frames (and the only one available in the oldest supported platforms).

It is an opaque intermediate format and the MDP hardware must be
used to convert ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C`` to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12M``,

+ of tiles, resulting in 32-aligned resolutions for the luminance plane
+ and 16-aligned resolutions for the chrominance plane (with 2x2
+ subsampling).
