Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future. Change-Id: I87543d81c9df70d99c5001fbdf646b202c19f423 Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com>

+Guidelines for Linux4Linux pixel format 4CCs
+============================================
+
+Guidelines for Video4Linux 4CC codes defined using v4l2_fourcc() are
+specified in this document. First of the characters defines the nature of
+the pixel format, compression and colour space. The interpretation of the
+other three characters depends on the first one.
+
+Existing 4CCs may not obey these guidelines.
+
+Formats
+=======
+
+Raw bayer
+---------
+
+The following first characters are used by raw bayer formats:
+
+ B: raw bayer, uncompressed
+ b: raw bayer, DPCM compressed
+ a: A-law compressed
+ u: u-law compressed
+
+2nd character: pixel order
+ B: BGGR
+ G: GBRG
+ g: GRBG
+ R: RGGB
+
+3rd character: uncompressed bits-per-pixel 0--9, A--
+
+4th character: compressed bits-per-pixel 0--9, A--
