> With the DDR mode in VE_MODE set to 128-bit, which the driver uses on
> all SoCs, the H616 H.264 engine reads corrupted reference chroma, while
> luma is fine. H.264 and VP8 P frames come out with bit-exact luma, but
> with about 22 dB PSNR chroma. H.265 and MPEG-2 are unaffected.
>
> The vendor library selects the DDR mode based on the VE IC version. It
> uses the 256-bit mode without the 2 MiB reconstruction write mode on
> the H616, and keeps the 128-bit mode with the 2 MiB reconstruction
> write mode on older SoCs, like the H6. Doing the same on the H616 makes
> all codecs bit-exact (tested with BA_MW_D, CABA2_Sony_E,
> vp80-00-comprehensive-002, AMP_A_Samsung_7 and MEI.stream16).
>
> Make the VE_MODE DDR settings a variant property and add an H616
> variant, which uses the 256-bit mode. Replace the FIXME about the
> DDR mode with a description of what the vendor library does.
