For clarification, cedrus does not expect any of the two options we have
specified but something in-between that is rather broken (a single frame
composed of a single slice only, in the format that our userspace currently
fills).
So at this point, the uAPI is not yet harmonized across cedrus and hantro
although the new controls from this series are exposed on both.
This situation makes me realize that perhaps we should have a formal discussion
on the roadmap we want to take for stabilizing the API. I see many points that
need significant adjustments and the new controls that allow Rockchip support
are just one aspect.
Having both drivers abide by the API seems like the next logical step (as far
as I understood, this is what Hans is expecting now), but I want to stress the
fact that it is really not enough to make a proper API and things are still
pretty broken all around.
Cheers,
Paul
