I have some housekeeping questions:

I have several older HEVC-related patches from you, which of those are still
valid?

"[v4,0/9] Additional features for Hantro HEVC":
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/cover/20210625141143.577998-1-benjamin.gaignard@collabora.com/

"media: hevc: fix pictures lists type":
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20210823082949.237716-1-benjamin.gaignard@collabora.com/

"media: hantro: Trace hevc hw cycles performance register":
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20210823135606.633052-1-benjamin.gaignard@collabora.com/

"media: hantro: Add support of compressed reference buffers"
https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/patch/20210823162916.824336-1-benjamin.gaignard@collabora.com/

Before moving the HEVC API out of staging I would prefer to have any remaining
issues fixed. So one series that adds any remaining fixes (i.e. from the older patches
mentioned above), and a second series on top that moves it out of staging.

That way I can mark the older patches as Superseded, and we have a
fresh series that we can discuss.

Regards,

	Hans
