Detlev,

FYI:

In my testbed with 

i. v7 of [1] on mainline 6.18.2
ii ffmpeg8 v4l2_request [2]
iii. mythv as player [3]
iv. minimyth2 as distro [4]
v. NO applied yours ffmpeg sps/rps hinting [5] (as i'm on ffmpeg8)

I run set of my mpeg2/h264/hevc/vp8/vp9 samples on: rk3328. rk3399, rk3566, rk3576, rk3588 and h616 (just for brief test for potential cross-regressions)

Results:

a. rk3328: no any regressions; all samples are decoded ok

b. rk3399: no any regressions; all samples are decoded ok

c. rk3566: no any regressions (e.g. in vp9. v6 and older were regressing; v7 is ok)  
c.1 h264: all ok
c.2 hevc: samples without long-term sps/rps: all ok.
c.3 hevc: samples with long-tern sps/rps: v7 is a bit regressing here: it gives me sometimes kernel oops requiring hw. reset to bring decoder back to live. 
Exemplary oops: https://termbin.com/upju
Older vers of your code were handling such cases without needs of hw. reset

d. rk3576:
d.1: h264: works ok - but randomly i'm getting playback with distortions like this: https://postimg.cc/Yh8Djc3L. it is avd. 1 per few playbacks.
d.2: hevc: the same like c.1 and c.2

e. rk3588
e.1: h264: all ok
e.2: hevc: the same like c.1 and c.2
   
g. h616 with cedrus: all ok.

btw: 
Adding to [1] vp9 android code [6] offers me nice working vp9 hwdec accell on rk3566/3588.  

Great work!
