Since I had not reviewed the change which introduced this, had a question.

The issue here is because the shift and ext_shift are -1 for NONE and 
hence the shift causes overflow?

If that was the issue shouldnt we protect all such cases?

So lets say we use SSPP_RGB0, the multirect_index for it will always be 
-1 as it doesnt support smartDMA. What prevents the same issue from 
hitting in that case? Because you are only checking for idx and not the 
shifts.
