Re: [PATCH v6 11/17] media: uapi: Add V4L2_CID_STATELESS_HEVC_ENTRY_POINT_OFFSETS control

Hi!

This series looks very good and I plan to test it shortly on Cedrus, but I 
have one major concern below.

Slice control by itself is variable length array, so you would actually need 
2D variable array for entry points which is not supported. However, easy 
workaround for that is to flatten 2D array to 1D and either have another slice 
control field which would tell first entry point index for convenience or let 
driver calculate it by adding up all num_entry_point_offsets of previous 
slices.

Hans, what do you think?

Note, it seems that H265 decoding on Cedrus still works without entry points, 
so this problem can be solved later. I'm not sure what we lose with that but 
it was suggested that this could influence speed or error resilience or both. 
However, I think we're close to solve it, so I'd like to do that now.

Best regards,
Jernej
