I understand there might be some magic going on under the hood here, but I would
be interested in trying to understand what's really going on.
For instance, comparing register dumps of the whole H264 block before/after
calling the hardware parser could help, and comparing that to using the previous
code (without hardware parsing).
I could try and have a look if you have an available sample for testing the
erroneous case!
Another minor thing: do you have some idea of whether the udelay call adds
significant delay in the process?
Cheers and thanks for the patch!
