> The second field of an I or P frame can be predicted from the first

> reference. The driver programs the backward reference passed by
> userspace instead, which doesn't point to the frame being decoded, so
> the second field is predicted from the wrong picture.
>
> Use the current frame as the backward reference of I and P pictures,
> like the vendor library does. Also fall back to the current frame
> instead of address 0 when a reference buffer is missing, so the
> hardware never reads from an invalid address.
