Hi Guoniu,

Thank you for the patch.

I assume you have verified this applies to the ISI in the i.MX8 family.

I think the first paragraph is clear enough, the example is not
required.

Line wrap please.

	return min_t(u32, DIV_ROUND_UP(from * 0x1000, to * *dec),
		     ISI_DOWNSCALE_THRESHOLD);

No need to send a new version, I'll handle those changes.
