No, even that wont be correct because as you pointed out anything we 
need to handle < QSEED4 case differently from others over here

537 		if (pdpu->pipe_hw->cap->features &
538 			BIT(DPU_SSPP_SCALER_QSEED4)) {
539 			scale_cfg->preload_x[i] = DPU_QSEED4_DEFAULT_PRELOAD_H;
540 			scale_cfg->preload_y[i] = DPU_QSEED4_DEFAULT_PRELOAD_V;
541 		} else {
542 			scale_cfg->preload_x[i] = DPU_QSEED3_DEFAULT_PRELOAD_H;
543 			scale_cfg->preload_y[i] = DPU_QSEED3_DEFAULT_PRELOAD_V;
544 		}


If we want to clean this up more accurately, we should add qseed_rev in 
the dpu caps or rename qseed_type to that which will hold the 0x3xxx 
value and then write a small util which would set the the bit correctly 
based on the qseed rev (0x3xxxx value).
