Hi Hans,

Thanks again for your review! I have addressed your comments in v3 which 
I just posted but there where a few things I just wanted to answer in 
this thread.

Yes only device tree is used now.

On this SoC is dose since the CbCr plane starts from a set offset (we 
can control this offset also but there is need to to anything special 
with it for this to work). So if we inject a offset here the CbCr plane 
will use the same offset.
