Just jumping into this discussion as I am currently working on the rkvenc driver.The more the merrier, there's always room for developers :-)In my case I am extending the rkvdec driver to become more generic for other rockchip specific enc/decoders. My first change looks like this: --- drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/Makefile | 4 +- drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/rkvdec-h264.c | 100 ++++----- drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/rkvdec-vp9.c | 142 ++++++------- drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/{rkvdec.c => rkvpu.c} | 510 +++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- drivers/staging/media/rkvdec/{rkvdec.h => rkvpu.h} | 66 +++--- --- While working on other parts of the encoder I found many places in the rkvdec driver (e.g. v4l2 and vb2 callbacks) that looked familiar to the hantro functions but where limited to the decoder case.Because stateless decoders devices are very similar in their general behavior, their drivers could be very similar. Hantro and Rkvdec could look similar because the same humans worked on them. Most boilerplate code, as well as V4L2 format negotiation, VB2 buffer handling could be shared among all stateless decoder drivers. I think even at one point we experimented with having a shared/common code base for all stateless codecs. In other words, it's entirely possible to support Hantro devices in the Cedrus driver and vice-versa, you would only have to write the hardware-specific bits. However, there is consensus to have a separate driver for each different hardware, even when the hardware is a bit similar. This may lead to some code duplication, but it's less fragile / more flexible. Maintaining drivers this way allows developers to evolve, testing on a small family of devices, without breaking support for other devices. This is important as sometimes it's hard to get the hardware, but we still don't want to break the support!I think there are two options for the av1 codec. 1) If the vpu981 is a driver that has nothing to do with verisilicon but works with this driver framework, then we should integrate vepu981 into it but consider rename the verisilicon unrelated parts to something generic. 2) Move the vepu981 av1 driver into the rkvdec instead. If 1) is the way to go, we can even think of moving the staging code parts from rkvdec to the verisilicon code. Likewise to the vepu981-av1.The Hantro driver should only support G1, G2, and VC8000D; which can be said to belong to the same family. The RKVDEC driver supports Rockchip vdpu34x core. I have to admit I'm not exactly sure if we support anything else than vdpu34x.
Currently the rkvdec is only supporting vdpu34x. My work would integrate vepu54x into the rkvdec boilerplate and so it would support encode as decode.
I'm not familiar with the AV1 support provided by this patch,
but looking at the mpp code:
...
"rk3588",
ROCKCHIP_SOC_RK3588,
HAVE_VDPU2 | HAVE_VDPU2_PP | HAVE_VEPU2 | HAVE_RKVDEC | HAVE_RKVENC |
HAVE_JPEG_DEC | HAVE_AV1DEC | HAVE_AVSDEC | HAVE_VEPU2_JPEG,
{ &vdpu38x, &rkjpegd, &vdpu2, &vdpu2_jpeg_pp, &av1d, &avspd},
{ &vepu58x, &vepu2, &vepu2_jpeg, NULL, },
Seems RK3588 supports a Hantro core (VDPU2), a vdpu38x core and this AV1 core,
which according to this patchset is vdpu981 (?)
If the vdpu38x device interface, configuration, buffer handling and
registers are
similar enough with vdpu34x, adding vdpu38x to the Rkvdec driver
should be straightforward.
If the vdpu38x core differs, it may be reason enough to consider a new driver.
As for vdpu981 (AV1), I'm inclined to think it deserves its own driver.
Again, I'm far less worried for a little code duplication in the
boilerplate (which can be solved
with helpers, etc.) and more worried about making sure we can evolve
drivers easily,
while minimizing regressions.
Thanks for the explanation. As I agree that not breaking current drivers is a strong argument. Also rkvdec is still in staging, which makes it less harmful for the integration of the encoder path. Since we can not ensure that the rkvenc/rkvdec is not another unknown verisilicon core, going the way of working on a common rkvpu driver is probably the best for now. Also, since I have already done some work into that direction, it sounds good for me. :)
I could also keep on integrating the rkvenc on that base instead.
