Hello Jonas,

In the context of the uAPI cleanup,
I'm revisiting this patch.

I've been going thru the H264 spec and I'm unsure,
are all these flags semantically needed?

For instance, if one of REF_BOTTOM or REF_TOP (or both)
are set, doesn't that indicate it's a field picture?

Or conversely, if neither REF_BOTTOM or REF_TOP are set,
then it's a frame picture?

Thanks,
Ezequiel
