Well, thanks ! I was wondering why it took so long, but the result look far best than what I achieved.

The road was very long since the original Amlogic driver...

I will try it out ASAP, but it looks very good for me.
Your changes seems quite obvious, and such rework was necessary.

Yes, it was delayed for later since it's not a functional feature, I will certainly push
an update with this later on.

Great, I will give you a functional update ASAP.
