For the YUV color modes (4:1:1, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4), the drive unpacks
the data into rgb8. It could just as efficiently unpack to bgr8.

Using rgb8 seems more consistent with the other modes, but if there is
a significant performance difference, I suppose those modes (only)
could publish bgr8, instead. Is that worth doing?
