picture order count(POC) for HEVC and frame_num in AVC. I think it is the number used in list0(P slice and B slice) and list1(B slice).

No, it is an additional cache for decoder, even FFmpeg having such data, I think allwinner must output it into somewhere.

I wonder whether allwinner need that, those sao flag usually ignored by decoder in design. But more is better than less, it is hard to extend a v4l2 structure in the future, maybe a new HEVC profile would bring a new property, it is still too early for HEVC.

It depends whether the decoder cares about scan type or more, I wonder prefer general_interlaced_source_flag for just scan type, it would be better than reading another SEL.
