I updated patches:
https://github.com/mcerveny/linux/tree/media_tree_for-v5.11e

BUT, commit (555 commits) for v5.10-1
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/fd5c32d80884268a381ed0e67cccef0b3d37750b
disrupts usability of Cedrus H.264 (at least for my Allwinner V3s):

1) colors are disrupted

There are missing some initialization now.

If I use "5.9" compatible code
(last bisect good point https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/647412daeb454b6dad12a6c6961ab90aac9e5d29 )
then reboot (not power-off!) and use new code 
( https://github.com/mcerveny/linux/tree/media_tree_for-v5.11e )
and colors are OK.

2) decoding of complex streams fails

( https://github.com/mcerveny/v4l2-request-test/tree/v5.10 )
- bbb-h264-all-i-32 - OK
- bbb-h264-32 - bad from frame 5
- bbb-h264-high-32 - bad from frame 6

best regards,
Martin
