Comment:

 4:1:0 notation can be used for both one chroma pair per 4x2 block and one
 chroma pair per 4x4 block. However in ffmpeg AV_PIX_FMT_YUV410P means the
 latter, one chroma pair per 4x4 block.

 Even wikipedia is confused and using both terms:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling

 ''This notation is not valid for all combinations and has exceptions, e.g.
 4:1:0 (where the height of the region is not 2 pixels, but 4 pixels, so if
 8 bits per component are used, the media would be 9 bits per pixel) and
 4:2:1.''

 but later:

 ''This ratio uses half of the vertical and one-fourth the horizontal color
 resolutions, with only one-eighth of the bandwidth of the maximum color
 resolutions used. Uncompressed video in this format with 8-bit
 quantization uses 10 bytes for every macropixel (which is 4×2 pixels).
 Some video codecs may operate at 4:1:0.5 or 4:1:0.25 as an option, so as
 to allow similar to VHS quality.''

 So log2_chroma_h is fine as is in ffmpeg.
