[PATCH 0/2] media: rkvdec: Align decoder behavior with Hantro and Cedrus

[Chen-Yu Tsai]

Hi everyone,

While working on the rkvdec H.264 decoder for ChromeOS, I noticed some
behavioral differences compared to Hantro and Cedrus:

1. The driver always overrides the sizeimage setting given by userspace
   for the output format. This results in insufficient buffer space when
   running the ChromeOS video_decode_accelerator_tests test program,
   likely due to a small initial resolution followed by dynamic
   resolution change.

2. Doesn't support dynamic resolution change.

This small series fixes both and aligns the behavior with the other two
stateless decoder drivers. This was tested on the downstream ChromeOS
5.10 kernel with ChromeOS. Also compiled tested on mainline but I don't
have any other RK3399 devices set up to test video stuff, so testing
would be very much appreciated.

Also, I'm not sure if user applications are required to check the value
of sizeimage upon S_FMT return. If the value is different or too small,
what can the application do besides fail? AFAICT it can't split the
data of one frame (or slice) between different buffers.

Andrzej, I believe the second patch would conflict with your VP9 series.
