This "BRG" thing is definitively a typo. We never had such thing as a 
BRG color wiring but did have BGR wiring mode.

The thing is that we have one DT using that:
arch/arm/boot/dts/at91sam9261ek.dts

So, either I would leave it like that: it's only old product using it.
Or just focus on first character in the string so that it works for both 
"BRG" or "BGR", and maintains the backward compatibility.
