From: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezil...@collabora.com>
Some stateless decoders don't support per-slice decoding granularity
(or at least not in a way that would make them efficient or easy to use).
Expose a menu to control the supported decoding modes. Drivers are
allowed to support only one decoding but they can support both too.
