There are two cases to consider interleaved and non-interleaved planes in a
single buffer.

a) Separate planes
[Y Y Y Y ....]
[Y Y Y Y ....]
[ .......... ]
[Y Y Y Y ....]
[CBCR CBCR CBCR CBCR .... ]
[CBCR CBCR CBCR CBCR .... ]
[ ....................... ]
[CBCR CBCR CBCR CBCR .... ]

Plane 0:
bpp = 1
offset = 0

Plane 1:
bpp = 1
offset = plane0_size


b) Interleaved planes
[Y CBCR Y CBCR Y CBCR ....]
[Y CBCR Y CBCR Y CBCR ....]
[ ....................... ]
[Y CBCR Y CBCR Y CBCR ....]

Plane 0:
bbp = 2
offset = 0

Plane 1:
bbp = 2
offset = 1


For case b) pitch * height + offset will point after the end of the buffer
by one pixel, which is the size of the Y component.

I think we need something like:

min_size = height * pitch;
min_size += offset - (bpp - drm_format_plane_cpp())

(bpp - drm_format_plane_cpp() is, so it will be zero for the separate planes
case,


And well something similar for horizontal subsampling.
