Hi, I am using mainline kernel 4.1 and I was writing a small application that uses double buffering to read YUV420 frames from a file at 30fps and displays them using the overlay plane in the imx-drm driver.
The first issue I noticed is that the image was green so I had to apply the following patches to make the U and V components be scanned out properly:

The thing is that, even after applying the 3 patches above, colors are a bit strange. They seem about right but there are some artifacts, like a saturation effect that spoils the image. You can see some snapshots here to see what I am talking about: https://imageshack.com/i/f0nAM5Xbj https://imageshack.com/i/hl7bZMNjj https://imageshack.com/i/eyRjURxRj

On the other hand, colors in the primary plane using the fbdev interface and RGB look correct.
Has anyone seen something similar or is YUV420 working fine for you?
