So cedrus HW supports only a single SLICE_PARAMS struct? Perhaps add that
as a comment.

I would drop this define. It is not used at the moment, and I think it
is the driver that should set this through the dims field (as cedrus
does above). It is likely to be limited by hardware anyway (just my guess).

If it is needed in the future, it can always be added.
