We came across many such scenarios during NV12 testing on BXT. During downscaling,
the "Max supported pixel clock with scaling exceeded" is seen if the user layer tries to downscale
much. And rotation, as you mentioned we have seen such messages. We discussed the same during the meeting
long back and mentioned that if we remove the limitations, it works. But as per discussion, if limitations are removed, it may work,
but there may be certain conditions where it may not work. Hence we concluded that some such cases are expected not to work.
However, I will discuss once again with Mahesh Kumar (CC) who works on WM implementation to re-confirm on the same.
