This diagram defines what happens before and after the blending space but did where does scaling fit into it? Scaling can look different when performed in linear or non-linear space so I think it is important to define where in the pipeline it sits.
In my view scaling would happen between plane degamma and plane CSC.

+Proposal is to have below properties for a plane:
+* Plane Degamma or Pre-Curve:
- This will be used to linearize the input framebuffer data.
- It will apply the reverse of the color transfer function.
- It can be a degamma curve or OETF for HDR.
- This linear data can be further acted on by the following
- color hardware blocks in the display hardware pipeline
+UAPI Name: PLANE_DEGAMMA_MODE +Description: Enum property with values as blob_id's which advertizes the
possible degamma modes and lut ranges supported by the platform.This allows userspace to query and get the plane degamma colorcaps and choose the appropriate degamma mode and create lut valuesaccordingly.+UAPI Name: PLANE_DEGAMMA_LUT +Description: Blob property which allows a userspace to provide LUT values
to apply degamma curve using the h/w plane degamma processingengine, thereby making the content as linear for further colorprocessing. Userspace gets the size of LUT and precision etcfrom PLANE_DEGAMA_MODE_PROPERTY+* Plane CTM
- This is a Property to program the color transformation matrix.
- This can be used to perform a color space conversion like
- BT2020 to BT709 or BT601 etc.
- This block is generally kept after the degamma unit so that
- linear data can be fed to it for conversion.
+UAPI Name: PLANE_CTM +Description: Blob property which allows a userspace to provide CTM coefficients
to do color space conversion or any other enhancement by doing amatrix multiplication using the h/w CTM processing engine+* Plane Gamma or Post-Curve
- This can be used to perform 2 operations:
* non-lineralize the framebuffer data. Can be used for* non linear blending. It can be a gamma curve or EOTF* for HDR.* Perform Tone Mapping operation. This is an operation* done when blending is done with HDR and SDR content.+UAPI Name: PLANE_GAMMA_MODE +Description: Enum property with values as blob_id's which advertizes the

to apply gamma curve or perform tone mapping using the h/w planegamma processing engine, thereby making the content as linearfor further color processing. Userspace gets the size of LUT andprecision etc from PLANE_GAMA_MODE_PROPERTY+This is part of one plane engine. Data from multiple planes will be +then fed to pipe where it will get blended. There is a similar set of +properties available at crtc level which acts on this blended data.

+This patch series adds properties for plane color features. It adds +properties for degamma used to linearize data and CSC used for gamut +conversion. It also includes Gamma support used to again non-linearize +data as per panel supported color space. These can be utilize by user +space to convert planes from one format to another, one color space to +another etc.
+Userspace can take smart blending decisions and utilize these hardware +supported plane color features to get accurate color profile. The same +can help in consistent color quality from source to panel taking +advantage of advanced color features in hardware.
+These patches add the property interfaces and enable helper functions. +This series adds Intel's XE_LPD hw specific plane gamma feature. We +can build up and add other platform/hardware specific implementation +on top of this series.
+Credits: Special mention and credits to Ville Syrjala for coming up +with a design for this feature and inputs. This series is based on +his original design and idea.
