Hey Yunfei,

How can that struct be changed accidentally?

will leading to play h264 bitstream fail if the firmware won't
be changed at the same time.

Okay I guess you mean that the struct has to be memcpy'd to the firmware
to synchronize it right?
Also is this really just a H264 thing? I would imagine that incorrect
data in the firmware will cause issues no matter which codec.

Marking the shared struct with "shared interface with firmware".

Can we do anything more to ensure that the firmware doesn't fall out of
sync besides adding a comment to the description?

To fix grammatical issues the description above should be changed to:

The vsi (video shared information) struct needs to be synchronized
between the firmware and the host, as a change that is only done in the
host version of the struct but isn't synchronized to the firmware can
lead to decoding issues with H264 bitstreams. Highlight this requirement
within the struct descriptions.

But as highlighted above it is not clear to me whether the content of
this message is right yet.

In this case, I feel like the previous description made the fact, that
this is shared data between the host and the firmware, rather clear
already.
