[PATCH] drm/imx/ipuv3: Fix dumb-buffer allocation for non-RGB formats

Align pitch to multiples of 8 pixels for bpp values that do not map
to RGB formats. The call to drm_driver_color_mode_format() fails with
DRM_INVALID_FORMAT in these cases. Fall back to manually computing
the pitch alignment from which drm_mode_size_dumb() can compute the
correct pitch.

Fixes userspace that allocates dumb buffers for YUV formats, where
bpp equals 12. A common example is the IGT kms_getfb test.

This patch is based on Dmitry's fix for msm. [1] Please test.

There could later be a helper to contain these aligmentment calculations
in a single place.
