Because alpha blending was not implemented before, and we only verified
this patch on MT8195 and MT8188. Will review this part again. Thanks.

This is a hardware limitation, OVL will only retrieve 8 bits per
channel for CRC calculation. Although we do limit this function to
8195/8188 only, the color detail will still lose on these platforms if
we must support CRC.
