Thank you for the patches!

There are some settings at adv7535 with regards to the colormap. The 4.9 fork of it has some different settings. Maybe it could be somehow related to it.

That's weird, but it could be due to some settings related to CMA, IOMMU and/or AFBC. > Obviously with some work I suspect we'll be able to sort these out, > but I also do feel that the set you're starting with for upstreaming > is pretty old.

On a quick look I've done, besides not having support for Hikey 970, the code on your tree seems to have less settings than the original one for Hikey 960. Yet, it should take some time to figure out what those extra settings are doing. Once I get this driver merged, and have USB support working fine[1], my plan is to compare the version from your tree, and compare with the one I have, in order to cleanup some stuff, check performance and do some other optimizations. - [1] this is a little OOT here: USB has been a challenge. Depending on the build, I'm getting an NMI interrupt error when the USB3 stack is loaded (usually at dwc3). The error is ESR_ELx_AET_UC. Unfortunately, it doesn't point to where this error is generated, making very hard to debug it. Thanks, Mauro
