Hi Wen,

Sorry, I was away on sabbatical until now.

Not sure if I got your message right: do you want to apply the RQOS value regardless
of the resolution (but only if defined to a non-zero value in the DTS)? If so, then
I'm fine with that idea. Can you send a refreshed patch?

Best regards,
Liviu
