Allwinner display engine blender consists of 3 pipelined blending units.

PIPE0->\
        BLD0-\
PIPE1->/      BLD1-\
PIPE2->------/      BLD2->OUT
PIPE3->------------/

This pipeline produces incorrect composition if PIPE0 buffer has alpha.
Correct solution is to add one more blending step and mix PIPE0 with
background, but it is not supported by the hardware.

Use premultiplied alpha buffer of PIPE0 overlay channel as is.
In this case we got same effect as mixing PIPE0 with black background.

Why? What happens in that case?

Can you really use the zpos here? What happens if the zpos doesn't
match the pipe?

I always thought that if bottom layer has alpha, it's blended with background 
color, which is set to opaque black. If that is not the case, can you solve 
this by changing blending formula located in BLD control registers (offsets 
0x90, 0x94, 0x98 and 0x9c)?

Best regards,
Jernej
