[PATCH v2 03/43] drm/sun4i: Add TODO comment about supporting scaling with the backend

From: Paul Kocialkowski
Date: Fri Nov 23 2018 - 04:26:45 EST


The backend allows integer-only scaling but can handle alpha components,
unlike the frontend. It could be useful to add support for this
eventually, so add a short TODO comment describing the situation.
