Your changes seems reasonable, but at this point I wouldn't bother with 
fluster. Instead, try to test with one specific bitstream or even a sample video 
file. I just tested with one random 10-bit VP9 video that I found when working 
on this series. That way you avoid any corner cases which sometimes plaque 
fluster testing (reference bitstreams smaller than min. supported size). 
Anyway, re-check vendor lib if there is any other place to adjust something 
for 10-bit.
