If I understand the driver correctly, padding is automatically applied to compensate for unaligned dimensions. The first/last rows/columns of the overlay area will be filled with a specified colour (black?) to preserve the area. This is unfortunately not OK to do transparently. Userspace must be aware of this policy decision and specifically request it. If not, the atomic request check should fail and tell userspace that the requested configuration is not possible to achieve. Cheers, Daniel

The reason why we add paddings to the frame and then remove it before showing it on the screen is due to the limitation of ETHDR. When HDR is enabled, the input pixels in width must be 4-pixel aligned, but for now ETHDR is bypassed so as the Paddings. Since the Paddings are always bypassed currently, the logics described above are not implemented yet, mtk_padding_config() will also be removed in the next version as the reviewer's suggestion. Cheers, Shawn

Thanks for the explanation, I hadn't realised that the added padding later gets cropped. Cheers, Daniel

Thank you for checking. For more information, 4-pixel alignment in width is only required when HDR is in Dolby Vision format, and the paddings will be cropped by video front-end in the HDR module. Cheers, Shawn
