[PATCH 0/7] media: hantro: add Allwinner H6 support

Hi everyone!

Here is patchset which adds support for Hantro G2 core found in Allwinner
H6 SoC. It is slightly older core, so it needs few quirks to be
implemented:
1. It uses slightly different register layout in some cases. However, those
   differences are small, so it makes sense only to add quirks.
2. It doesn't use ring buffer for bitstream as newer variants.
3. It needs double buffering to be enabled in order to work correctly.
4. postproc must be enabled at the end of the job. It seems that core has
   some issues with latching register values if postproc registers are set
   at the beginning of the job

legacy_regs quirk could be split into 3, like legacy_regs, ring_buffer and
late_postproc, but I didn't see the need for that. I examined vendor
sources at [1] and it suggests that legacy_regs implies no ring buffer.

It's also unclear if core supports HEVC decoding or not. This can be
implemented later. VP9 10-bit decoding support is mentioned in manual, but
it doesn't work at the moment. This will be addressed later.

Please take a look.

Best regards,
Jernej
