Eh, so probably my patch does not cover fully the support for v3 G2D. I
looked mostly at the differences between v3 and v4 in the s5p-g2d driver
itself. However you are right that this might be not sufficient because
exynos-g2d moved forward and is different than s5p-g2d.

I was looking for the usage of scaling reg (as there is no scaling
command). How the scaling is implemented then?

Thanks for feedback!
