This is a local copy of the dpb, the DPB is fully passed for every decode. So
these flags will be fully restored lower when we copy the found entry. In fact,
holding a state here would not represent well the userland intention and can
have negative side effect on the decoding. Flags are not immutable between
decode and can change. This simplify the code, and make things less error prone.
This part of the code is already a bit complex, no need for an extra layer.

This reads the same to me, but I can do that yes. understand that VALID means
the reference exist and the TS should point to some existing past reference
(unless there was some decode error, which the userland may not be aware yet as
this is asynchronous). While ACTIVE means that it is used as a reference. FFMPEG
is known not to filter inactive references. ACTIVE is just a flag without bunch
of other flags that can change for every decode. So none of this make sense
between 2 decodes.
