The current implementation uses DRM_BLEND_ALPHA_OPAQUE unconditionally, and no driver modifies the maximum value behind the scene, so Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c | 4 +--- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c > b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c index 3cf1aa132778..e49b22381048 > 100644 > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_atomic_helper.c > @@ -3569,9 +3569,7 @@ void __drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset(struct drm_plane > *plane, state->plane = plane; > state->rotation = DRM_MODE_ROTATE_0; > > - /* Reset the alpha value to fully opaque if it matters */ > - if (plane->alpha_property) > - state->alpha = plane->alpha_property->values[1]; > + state->alpha = DRM_BLEND_ALPHA_OPAQUE; > state->pixel_blend_mode = DRM_MODE_BLEND_PREMULTI; > > plane->state = state; -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
