media: doc: pixfmt-packed-yuv: Clarify naming scheme for 4:4:4 formats
Document the naming scheme for the existing packed YUV 4:4:4 formats, as previously done for the RGB formats. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

These formats do not subsample the chroma components and store each pixels as a
full triplet of Y, Cb and Cr values.
+The next table lists the packed YUV 4:4:4 formats with less than 8 bits per
+component. They are named based on the order of the Y, Cb and Cr components as
+seen in a 16-bit word, which is then stored in memory in little endian byte
+order, and on the number of bits for each component. For instance the YUV565
