Thank you for providing the details. We have also reached out to our
partner at Google and gained a better understanding of the situation.
We discovered that the capability for 180-degree rotation was not
previously claimed. However, we reported this capability by adding
DRM_MODE_ROTATE_180 to the plane property, as combining flip-x and
flip-y effectively results in a 180-degree rotation. Unfortunately, it
appears that we did not properly handle the rotation property in the
driver, which has led to the current issues.
The reason there is no problem after reverting this patch is likely
because, when the driver does not support rotation, Android apps will
handle screen rotation via software. After this patch, since we claim
that our driver supports 180-degree rotation, the app attempts to
utilize hardware for this function, which has resulted in the bug.

Thank you for your assistance, and we will continue to investigate this
matter. Since I am no longer involved in the related project, Jason-JH
will assist in investigating this issue and will submit a fix once we
confirm the root cause.

No problem. Based on your detailed description above, it seems we have
identified the possible cause.
