After some headbanging on my end I see that the offset for the Y plane
needs to be rounded down.

But instead of reverting the whole thing and open-coding the helper
again, could you adjust the address returned by the helper for odd
offsets?

And just a heads up, this also needs a clipped version of
drm_fb_dma_get_gem_addr() as sun8i_ui_layer_update_coord() uses the
clipped dimensions. I am currently working on this part.
