The Amlogic Meson GX SoCs support an Overlay plane behind the primary plane for video rendering. This Overlay plane support various YUV layouts : - YUYV - NV12 / NV21 - YUV444 / 422 / 420 / 411 / 410 The scaler supports a wide range of scaling ratios, but for simplicity, plane atomic check limits the scaling from x5 to /5 in vertical and horizontal scaling. The z-order is fixed and always behind the primary plane and cannot be changed. The scaling parameter algorithm was taken from the Amlogic vendor kernel code and rewritten to match the atomic universal plane requirements. The video rendering using this overlay plane support has been tested using the new Kodi DRM-KMS Prime rendering path along the in-review V4L2 Mem2Mem Hardware Video Decoder up to 3840x2160 NV12 frames on various display modes.

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.
