Thanks everyone for your reviews. After the discussion we had on IRC
and the feedback I had on this patchset it's a bit unclear to me what
the next iteration should look like. Should I continue with the
underscan props, should I use TV margins exposed by the TV connector
state, should I create new props?

Remember that all I need is a way to define margins in order to let
the VC4 HW scaler shrink the planes and adjust their positions on the
screen.

Thanks,

Boris
