The patchset implements the MPEG-2 part of V4L2 unified low-level decoder API RFC [0] needed by stateless video decoders, ie decoders which requires specific parsing metadata in addition to video bitstream chunk in order to complete decoding. A reference implementation using STMicroelectronics DELTA video decoder is provided as initial support in this patchset. In addition to this patchset, a libv4l plugin is also provided which convert MPEG-2 video bitstream to "parsed MPEG-2" by parsing the user video bitstream and filling accordingly the dedicated controls, doing so user code remains unchanged whatever decoder is: stateless or not.
The first patch implements the MPEG-2 part of V4L2 unified low-level decoder API RFC [0]. A dedicated "parsed MPEG-2" pixel format has been introduced with its related extended controls in order that user provides both video bitstream chunk and the associated extra data resulting from this video bitstream chunk parsing. The second patch adds the support of "parsed" pixel format inside DELTA video decoder including handling of the dedicated controls and setting of parsing metadata required by decoder layer. Please note that the current implementation has a restriction regarding the atomicity of S_EXT_CTRL/QBUF that must be guaranteed by user. This restriction will be removed when V4L2 request API will be implemented [1]. Please also note the failure in v4l2-compliance in controls section, related to complex compound controls handling, to be discussed to find the right way to fix it in v4l2-compliance. The third patch adds the support of DELTA MPEG-2 stateless video decoder back-end.
