Ah, so the issue is specific on the G2 post-processor.

Right, but see this comment:

/* Turn on pipeline mode. Must be done first. */
HANTRO_PP_REG_WRITE_S(vpu, pipeline_en, 0x1);

I have vague recollection of why we have that comment,
but I'm reluctant to move post-proc enable to the end.
(or at least not do it on G1?).

OK, sounds good.

Will take a look.
