qcom,sde-qseed-sw-lib-rev is the SW library revision for libscale.

This is a proprietary library used to calculate the LUTs for the qseed 
block. Its not used in the upstream version of the driver.

For upstream driver, the driver uses default settings for the LUTs which 
work for most of the common use-cases we see.

You can refer the below property names, there are programmed by the lib 
for the downstream driver.

3733 		msm_property_install_range(
3734 				&psde->property_info, "scaler_v2",
3735 				0x0, 0, ~0, 0, PLANE_PROP_SCALER_V2);
3736 		msm_property_install_blob(&psde->property_info,
3737 				"lut_sep", 0,
3738 				PLANE_PROP_SCALER_LUT_SEP);

No, 0x3002 is the HW revision of the qseed and thats why this change is 
correct because the SW library name/rev doesnt exactly match the qseed 
HW revision as its possible that even qseed3lite library can support the 
QSEED4 HW.

So we should be going off qcom,sde-qseed-scalar-version and not 
qcom,sde-qseed-sw-lib-rev.
