I think these are really nice features to have, but these would need to
be exposed as properties, rather than custom driver-specific IOCTLs. It
seems to me like the colorkey feature could be implemented in much the
same way as in the Armada, RCar and Nouveau drivers.

As for the blending options, I think they should be exposed in terms of
the zpos property, to allow generic userspace to make use of them. Also
can you explain why this needs to be exclusive to Tegra20 and Tegra30?
