OK, I will improve the commit message and add a comment to the function.
As far as I understand this simply calculates amount of data in bytes that
needs to be read from the system memory per second for given video stream,
by summing values for each mixer window and for each color plane within 
a window.

Anyway, the patch will to be changed as after some more tests it seems
the calculation works for LEFTBUS but DMC clock on Odroid U3 needs to
be set to 400 MHz, rather than to at least 160 MHz. With any lower value 
the mixer underflow error interrupts are being triggered and eventually 
the IOMMU page fault occurs.
