considering moving them into compression options. The uncompressed tile
in big tile pixel formats do exist, but I never see them being used.
Anyway, let me just try to describe the most simple tile here.
For example a NV12 tile format(V4H1)
(0, 0) (0, 1) (0, 2)
(1, 0) (1, 1)
(2, 0) (2, 1)
(3, 0)
(0, 0) (1, 0) (2, 0) (3, 0) is a tile, then (0, 1)..(3, 1) after that.
(4, 0) is after (3, y).

For example a NV15 tiled format(V4H3P8),
(0, 0) (0, 1) (0, 2)
(1, 0) (1, 1)
(2, 0) (2, 1)
(3, 0)

(0, 0) (1, 0) (2, 0) (3, 0) (0, 1) (1, 1) (2, 1) ... (3, 2) are 120bits,
then fill it with an extra 8 bits, (0, 3) would be placed that the first
128bits in the memory.
