From: LUU HOAI <hoai.luu.ub@xxxxxxxxxxx> In Gen3, when Alpha blend is enabled in the PnMR register, depending on the initial value of the PnALPHAR register, either channel of DU might be black screen. Therefore, this patch prevents the black screen by setting the PnALPHAR register to all 0. In addition, PnALPHAR register will be released in the R-Car Gen3 Hardware Manual Rev 2.4 (Sep. 2021).
