Just a generic question. Shouldn't - in an ideal HW - the degamma phase
and the CTM be a plane specific property?

I mean, isn't the purpose of normalizing the non linear RGB to linear
(and possibly converting the color space) to have same format for all
plane data before blending and composing them together?

Of course it does not matter if all the planes use the same color space,
which then should be converted to something else for the output.

... or have I misunderstood something?
