Sure, but I can not fix everything in one step. This is a first simple
quantitative test that is supposed to tell if scaling can be done
without synclost errors. Next step is to make dispc to not look to HW
for current clock settings, and then finally make all relevant check
callbacks (or some flag in the config callbacks) in dispc.

Anyway, there will be a v2 of this patch that tests color_mode !=
OMAP_DSS_COLOR_NV12 instead of color_mode_to_bpp(color_mode) > 8. The
NV12 appears to be the only color format that works reliably with
current implementation.

Best regards,
Jyri
