I think we should enable pixel normalizer only when FP16 is being enabled and 
disable it
in case frame buffer format is switched from FP16 to any other format.

The "need_pixel_normalizer" should check that, in patch this is done by 
"check_pixel_normalizer".
I am not sure if disable case whether we need to explicitly disable it, but 
good to have it.
