I use the WL_SHM_FORMAT_YUV420 defined in Wayland protocol. It is always 
a mental gymnastics to understand the match. But I don't know how to 
change it except by changing the wayland protocol it self.

I will propose a new patch to simplify this.

When I wrote the code, I was thinking about NV12. The 2nd plane UV size 
should be width * (height/2). It is less a component subsampling 
parameters than a plane width and height divider.
