This driver only advertises XRGB8888 in ssd1307_formats. It would be nice to
expose R8 as well so that user-space can directly produce suitable buffers.
It would also be nice to have some kind of preferred format, so that user-space
knows R8 is preferred over XRGB8888.

Hm, since the format used by the hw is actually R1, adding that to drm_fourcc.h
would be even better.

What's the story with the Rn formats?
The comments say "n bpp Red", while this is a monochrome (even
inverted) display?
