Isn't .buf_init and .buf_cleanup callbacks provided by struct vb2_ops meant
for exactly that?
Related, but different topic. I managed to fix 10-bit HEVC support on H6, but
when working in 8-bit mode, capture buffers have to be big enough to hold
normal NV12 decoded image plus extra buffer for 2 bits of each pixel. VPU
accepts only offset from destination buffer for this extra buffer instead of
full
address. How we will handle that? Override sizeimage when allocating? But
there we don't have information if it's 10-bit video or not. As you can see,
I'm not a fan of overallocating.
I suspect we will have even bigger issues when decoding 10-bit HEVC video in
P010 format, which is the only 10-bit YUV format useable by DRM driver (not
implemented yet). From what I know till now, VPU needs aforementioned 8-bit+2-
bit buffers (for decoding) and another one in which it rearranges samples in
P010 format. But that has to be confirmed first.
Best regards,
Jernej
