Well I think this applies to the format in general, and probably should
be fixed in drm_fb_dma_get_gem_addr() instead?

AFAICT the only difference compared to drm_fb_dma_get_gem_addr()
is the masking here, i.e. round_down().

Where as the helper has (or used to have before the blocksize stuff):

    paddr += (format->cpp[plane] * (state->src_x >> 16)) / fb->format->hsub;
    paddr += (fb->pitches[plane] * (state->src_y >> 16)) / fb->format->vsub;

Am I missing something?
