Thanks for the followup. I've only been peripherally involved in the
problem, but I can at least copy the relevant bits over.
It looks as if the problem is somehow only showing up when running
Android apps on those devices, so whatever the problem is it's subtle.
The report says that the apps work OK when the device is in tablet
mode and in one rotation but the problem shows up when rotated 90
degrees. The report says that "Screen content appears inverted". To me
it also sounds _possible_ that the problem is somewhere in our
userspace.
I think Hsin-Yi and Ross are continuing to dig a bit more. Maybe once
they've dug they can add any details they find or can loop in others
as it makes sense?

The patches in [2] look related to alpha blending but I think they are
seeing issues related to rotation. ...so I'm going to assume it's
different? I don't have this hardware in front of me, so I'm just
going by the report.
