After discussion with ChromeOS members, it would seem that their
implementation indeed synchronously decode each frames, so this hack was

s/decode each frames/decodes each frame/

simply compensating for their code being less efficienti. This hack

s/efficienti/efficient/

should in my opinion have stayed downstream and I'm removing it to ensure

  In my opinion, this hack should not have been included upstream/

stability across all RK3399 variants.
