But since Philipp rather made clarification in documentation, maybe he > sees benefit having both values? Actually I just caught up with the discussion from thread: media: uapi: h264: Add num_ref_idx_active_override_flag which explains that we need to pass the default fields for hardware that parses the slice header itself and we need the non-default fields and flag for other cases. To cover the case of hardware that does slice header parsing, I guess it would also work to use the slice-specific values in place of the pps default values in the hardware register for that. But it feels quite confusing and a lot less straightforward than having all the fields and the override flag exposed. So I think I should fix HEVC support accordingly, just in case the same situation arises for HEVC.
