Hi Krzysztof,
Thanks for your review!

The hardware configurations are different: these are two distinct hardware blocks.

Based on the block diagrams shown in Figures 9.4-2 (LCDC1) and 9.4-1 (LCDC0),
the only difference concerns the output, but this variation is internal to the
hardware blocks themselves.
Therefore, LCDC0 and LCDC1 are not identical blocks, and their programming models
differ as a result.

In summary, although most of the internal functions are the same, the two blocks
have output signals connected to different components within the SoC.
This requires different hardware configurations and inevitably leads to different
programming models for LCDC0 and LCDC1.


Kind Regards,
Tommaso
