Ah, now I get it.

So, I guess we can do a similar thing to what we already do earlier in
this function to select the first scaler if HQ is needed.  If
downscaling is needed in one of the scalers but not in the other, we
can swap them to make sure the one that needs downscaling in in the
first one.

But I agree with you in that this could be an added FIXME in this patch
and the actual change could be made in a separate patch.

I see what you mean.  But the code from before had the exact same
thing, I think? We were also checking for VER >= 10 and only then using
3.0.  For anything else the limit was 2.0.  Is your comment related to
the FIXME I removed from below? (your last comment in this email)

Okay, so I'll change this function to return errors in both cases.

By "current place" you mean before this patch? I.e. in
skl_universal_plane.c?

Right, so the new FIXME I'll add as discussed above should cover this.
