I suspect every driver needs to do something similar. You can see what
I did for nouveau here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=88b703527ba70659365d989f29579f1292ebf9c3

(look for csc_drm_to_base)

Would be great to have a common helper which correctly accounts for
all the variability.
