Subject: [PATCH v2 03/43] drm/sun4i: Add TODO comment about supporting scaling with the backend
Date:   Fri, 23 Nov 2018 10:24:35 +0100

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.
