There is no input here, all the settings are direct bit assignment, and
all the values are calculated by the designer. The main purpose of it
is to configure the Y2R module to be able to transform 10bit RGB format
into 8bit RGB, while this is not Y2R module is originally designed for.

Got it. Will modify in the next version to enter this section only if
we need to calculate the CRC.

Yes, for RGB format, OVL can only handle 8bit per channel for CRC
calculation, so I assume there may be similar issue handling 10bit YUV
formats (P010) in the future.
