There is no mention of this in the TRM.

| Video Blending is defined for two RGB video streams. One of these
| streams will be graphics that have an alpha value along with RGB
| stream. The alpha value available with the graphics stream will define
| the transparency of the graphics. Alpha value defined for blending
| function is always 8-bit. 1-bit alpha and 4-bit alpha are also
| supported, but these are scaled to 8-bits before they are used for
| alpha blending

Please quote a specific section where the alpha blending formula is
documented.

OK, so regardless of what the hardware does, we have to pretend to
support pre-multiplied alpha.
