Description

If a Driver does not support scaling, there is no need to generate a scaling report.

Make use of the gradients supports option dict on Drivers to determine if the Driver supports scaling. Assume if it supports gradients, generate a scaling report. If not, no scaling report is generated

Research direction

Start by locating the Driver supports option dictionary and the code path that generates scaling reports. Check how the gradients option is represented for Drivers, then trace report generation to condition it on gradient support. Done means Drivers without gradients support produce no scaling report, while supporting Drivers still do.
