It seems to me that H.265 should be the source for what fields are needed in the uapi - not whatever happens to be supported by current h/w. The standard defines the list of fields that can occur in the parameter sets and headers, and everything that is needed to decode any slice_seqgment_data should be in the upai. Eventually all those fields are going to be needed (they aren't in the standard just to look pretty) and given the reluctance I've observed to change the uapi once released they should be there from the start. Now some hardware requires more fields that aren't in the standard - those can (and should) be added in h/w specific extensions.
