Since base is taken from PLANE_SURF register it should be resolvable via 
GGTT to physical address pointing to actual framebuffer.
I couldn't find anything in the specs.
The simplest approach would be then do the same as in case of DGFX:
		gen8_pte_t __iomem *gte = to_gt(i915)->ggtt->gsm;
		gen8_pte_t pte;

		gte += base / I915_GTT_PAGE_SIZE;

		pte = ioread64(gte);
		phys_base = pte & I915_GTT_PAGE_MASK;
