+/*
+ * Structures for describing flexible YUVA/RGBA formats for consumption by
+ * applications. Such flexible formats contain a plane for each component (e.g.
+ * red, green, blue), where each plane is laid out in a grid-like pattern
+ * occupying unique byte addresses and with consistent byte offsets between
+ * neighboring pixels.
+ *
+ * The android_flex_layout structure is used with any pixel format that can be
+ * represented by it, such as:
+ *  - HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_YCbCr_*_888
+ *  - HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_FLEX_RGB*_888
+ *  - HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB[AX]_888[8],BGRA_8888,RGB_888
+ *  - HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_YV12,Y8,Y16,YCbCr_422_SP/I,YCrCb_420_SP
+ *  - even implementation defined formats that can be represented by
+ *    the structures
+ *
+ * Vertical increment (aka. row increment or stride) describes the distance in
+ * bytes from the first pixel of one row to the first pixel of the next row
+ * (below) for the component plane. This can be negative.
+ *
+ * Horizontal increment (aka. column or pixel increment) describes the distance
+ * in bytes from one pixel to the next pixel (to the right) on the same row for
+ * the component plane. This can be negative.
+ *
+ * Each plane can be subsampled either vertically or horizontally by
+ * a power-of-two factor.
+ *
+ * The bit-depth of each component can be arbitrary, as long as the pixels are
+ * laid out on whole bytes, in native byte-order, using the most significant
+ * bits of each unit.
