OK.

I'm not familiar with DE1 and I'm not sure what the problem is.

However, there is an issue in DE2 when alpha blending multiple planes if
bottom-most plane doesn't cover all screen. In this case alpha blending
produce weird result on screen. Fortunately, there is elegant solution. Black
opaque fill color is enabled for pipe 0 (always at the bottom), which covers
any "undefined region" and that makes alpha blending happy again.

Alternatively, blending modes between planes could be tweaked or disabled, but
I found aforementioned solution is much simpler and you set it only once.

Why do you think so?

Channel always represents HW unit, for example, on H3, mixer0, channel 0
always represents VI plane, channel 1, represents first UI, plane, channel 2,
second UI plane, etc.

Pipe 0 always represent channel at the bottom, pipe 1 channel on top pipe 0,
etc. Initial, fixed zpos implementation really had 1:1 mapping, but now it can
be different.

Register SUN8I_MIXER_BLEND_ROUTE holds pipe <-> channel mappings.
Bits 3:0 represents pipe 0 and holds channel number. Bits 7:4 represents pipe
1, etc.

Additionaly, there can be holes, for example, pipe 3 and pipe 0 are enabled
and pipe 1 and 2 are disabled.

I hope I answered your questions.

Best regards,
Jernej
