I forget a important thing, for the rkvdec and rk hevc decoder, it would
requests cabac table, scaling list, picture parameter set and reference
picture storing in one or various of DMA buffers. I am not talking about
the data been parsed, the decoder would requests a raw data.
For the pps and rps, it is possible to reuse the slice header, just let
the decoder know the offset from the bitstream bufer, I would suggest to
add three properties(with sps) for them. But I think we need a method to
mark a OUTPUT side buffer for those aux data.

Please add a property for reference index, if that rps is not used for
this, some device would request that(not the rockchip one). And
Rockchip's VDPU1 and VDPU2 for AVC would request a similar property.
What exactly is that reference index? Is it a bitstream element or
something deduced from the bitstream?
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).
The picture order count is already the last field of the DPB entry
structure. There is one for each field picture.
As we are not sure whether there is a field coded slice or CTU, I would hold this part and else about the field.
Adding another buffer_tag for referring the memory of the motion vectors
for each frames. Or a better method is add a meta data to echo picture
buffer, since the picture output is just the same as the original,
display won't care whether the motion vectors are written the button of
picture or somewhere else.
The motion vectors are passed as part of the raw bitstream data, in the
slices. Is there a case where the motion vectors are coded differently?
No, it is an additional cache for decoder, even FFmpeg having such
data, I think allwinner must output it into somewhere.
Ah yes I see what you mean! This is handled internally by our driver
and not exposed to userspace. I don't think it would be a good idea to
expose this cache or request that userspace allocates it like a video
buffer.
No, usually the driver should allocate, as the user space have no idea on size of each devices.
But for advantage user, application can fix a broken picture with a proper data or analysis a object motion from that.
So I would suggest attaching this information to a picture buffer as a meta data.

Those properties I think are not necessary are applying for the
Rockchip's device, may not work for the others.
Yes, it's possible that some of the elements are not necessary for some
decoders. What we want is to cover all the elements that might be
required for a decoder.
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.
Yes this is used by our decoder. The idea is to have all the basic
bitstream elements in the structures (even if some decoders don't use
them all) and add others for extension as separate controls later.

I think the decoder doesn't care about this, it is used for display.
The purpose of this field is to indicate whether the current picture is
a progressive frame or an interlaced field picture, which is useful for
decoding.
At least our decoder has a register field to indicate frame/top
field/bottom field, so we certainly need to keep the info around.
Looking at the spec and the ffmpeg implementation, it looks like this
flag of the bitstream is the usual way to report field coding.
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.
Well we still need a way to indicate if the current data is top or
bottom field for interlaced. I don't think that knowing that the whole
video is interlaced would be precise enough.
Cheers,
Paul
