From: LUU HOAI <hoai.luu.ub@xxxxxxxxxxx> As per R-Car-Gen3_Common_OPC_Customer_Notifications_V30.1.pdf, unexpected image output(such as incorrect colors or planes being invisible) can happen on the below conditions, as PnALPHAR register is not initialized by reset. When alpha blending (PpMRm.PpSPIM=0b101) is performed and: •two Planes are enabled on any DUn (n=0,1,2,3) oDSPRn= 0x0000 0031 or 0x0000 0013 •or DU0 and DU1 is used for display at the same time oDSPR0= 0x0000 0001 and DSPR1= 0x0000 0003 oDSPR0= 0x0000 0003 and DSPR1= 0x0000 0001 •or DU2 and DU3(H3 Only) is used for display at the same time oDSPR2= 0x0000 0001 and DSPR3= 0x0000 0003 oDSPR2= 0x0000 0003 and DSPR3= 0x0000 0001 This patch set PnALPHAR register to 0 to avoid this issue.
