Deinterlacing on the S8xx/S9xx AMLogic devices use Motion Adaptive, Edge Enhancing, Hardware deinterlacing from the VPU for mpeg2 and H264. With the S9xx, It's indestnguishable from that of my new 4K TV, the quality is that good, it's really excellent for fast action sports viewing.
If you want to, you can also configure LE 7.x.x on the C2 to use high quality, full motion YADIFx2 Software Deinterlacing for 480/576i mpeg2 content. This is what the RPi uses. mpeg2 interlaced DVD's will use YADIFx2 automatically.
Scaling is done in Hardware I believe via the VPU again. I rarely see it because if you use full automatic Refresh Switching in LE, then 720, 1080 and 2160p will be output at those resolutions and you can then use a (4K) TV's superior scaling anyway. I leave the GUI in 1080p for viewing 576i, 720p and 1080i TV content.
It's all seamless and I've honestly seen no complaints.
BTW: Interlaced 29.97fps VC-1 BluRay is now fixed when using the latest C2 LE version when I last tested.
