VI planes support coarse scaling which helps to overcome VI scaler limitations. While exact working of coarse scaling isn't known, it seems that it just skips programmed amount of rows and columns. This is especially useful for downscaling very big planes (4K down to 1080p). Horizontal coarse scaling is currently used to fit one line to VI scaler buffer. Vertical coarse scaling is used to assure that VI scaler is actually capable of processing framebuffer in one frame time.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
