Hi Cristian,
Thanks for this work ! :)
FWIW I sent a series also based on Matt's work four years ago:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20210707084557.22443-2-raphael.gallais-pou@foss.st.com/
IIRC at the time there was some questions around the pixel format used for the
property, and non-opaque color vs alpha pre-multiplication.
Mind that on STM32MP platforms alpha channel for the background color is not
supported.
Hope the thread can bring some insights.
Best regards,
Raphaël
