The API works (AFAIU) like drm addfb2 ioctl, take I420 for example,
you could either do:

  single buffer:
     fd0 = fd
     offset0 = 0
     pitch0 = width
     fd1 = fd
     offset1 = width * height
     pitch1 = width / 2
     fd2 = fd
     offset2 = offset1 + (width / height / 4)
     pitch2 = width / 2

  multiple buffers:
     offset0 = offset1 = offset2 = 0
     fd0 = fd_luma
     fd1 = fd_u
     fd2 = fd_v
     ... and so on

for interlaced/stereo.. is sticking our heads in sand an option?  :-P

You could get lots of permutations for data layout of fields between
interlaced and stereo.  One option might be to ignore and let the user
create two egl-images and deal with blending in the shader?
