Good catch, I'll update that.

You are right that the new variable in the parent (SSPP) block is
nondescriptive and should have been named scaler_version.

However.

dpu_scaler_blk is only used as a const static struct in the catalog,
meaning we cannot (should not!) store a runtime-read register value
here.  Instead I followed your IRC suggestion to read the register in
dpu_hw_sspp_init, but my original implementation called
dpu_hw_get_scaler3_ver in _dpu_hw_sspp_setup_scaler3 where we already
have access to the subblk_offset, allowing us to delete
_dpu_hw_sspp_get_scaler3_ver.  Would you rather have that?  We don't
need the register value anywhere else.

Is this already supported in mainline, and is it the reason for
previously having qseed_type globally available?  Is my understanding
correct that this scaler subblk in the SSPP is merely an interface to
it, allowing the same hardware to be used from the SSPP for intputs and
after the LM for outputs?
