The input I mean is the input of Y2R, the pixel value. If input a pixel
value 0x100 into Y2R, then Y2R output pixel value 0xfc, why do this? I
think it should not be minus 1. If remove the minus 1, then input 0x100
and output 0x100.

I think this truncation is not necessary. No matter you truncate in
Y2R, OVL would finally truncate pixel value last 2 two bit when
calculate CRC. So this truncation is not necessary.
