Strange, then I guess datasheet is wrong (wouldn't be first time). 
Unfortunatelly there is no documentation for Cedrus capabilities, so 
everything is either educated guess or tested on HW. Documentation for older 
than H6 SoCs always mention only 1080p @ 60fps limit, even though several of 
them are capable of decoding 4K H264 videos (I'm not sure about max. fps 
though).

To be honest, I'm not sure what is correct value here. It may depend on Cedrus 
core variant.
