Yes, CSC offers great flexibility, but unfortunately that also means that you 
have as much CSC matrices as there is possible conversions. This explodes 
quickly, especially if you convert from one YCbCr encoding to another (BT.601, 
BT.709, BT.2020) and also considering range (full, limited). If you don't mind 
doing some calculations in code, this becames much simpler, but doing fixed 
point arithmetic isn't fun. Is floating point arithmetic allowed in kernel?

I wrote a simple program to produce all those CSC matrices for sun4i-drm 
driver: http://ix.io/2dak Note that it's for RGB <-> YUV conversion, but DW 
HDMI has a bit different order. I believe it's GRB, but I'm not 100% sure.

You can also do various color adjustements, like brigthness, but that would 
also mean that you have to multiply all matrices to get final one which you can 
then write into registers.

Best regards,
Jernej
