[media] DocBook media: fix incorrect note about packed RGB and colorspace
The fact that the pixelformat is using a packed RGB format has nothing to do with the colorspace that is being used. Those are very different things. The colorspace decides what color a triplet of RGB numbers actually map to. E.g. a red color with values (255, 0, 0) is a different type of red depending on the colorspace. If the original pixelformat was e.g. YUV in colorspace REC709, then after the conversion to RGB the colorspace is still REC709. Unless the hardware actually converted the colorspace as well from REC709 to sRGB, but that rarely if ever happens. Remove this incorrect comment.
