[PATCH v2] drm/sun4i: Align VI buffer addresses for subsampled formats
From: Chen-Yu Tsai
Date: Tue Sep 08 2026 - 01:02:50 EST
Commit 79ac1c945ab8 ("drm/sun4i: layers: Use drm_fb_dma_get_gem_addr() to
get display memory") dropped the code to calculate the framebuffer's DMA
address in favor of drm_fb_dma_get_gem_addr().
This turned out to be wrong in a couple ways. The hardware can handle
pixel offsets within a sub-sampling block, but the buffer address must
start at the beginning of the subsampled block for all planes. The
hardware then does the interpolation internally. However the helper
gives the address exact pixel for luma, which messes up the result.
Instead of reverting the commit, calculate the intra-block offset and
adjust the buffer address so that it points to the start of the block.
Fixes: 79ac1c945ab8 ("drm/sun4i: layers: Use drm_fb_dma_get_gem_addr() to get display memory")
