    libavcodec: v4l2: add support for v4l2 mem2mem codecs · 1ef7752d
    Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz authored
        This patchset enhances Alexis Ballier's original patch and validates
        it using Qualcomm's Venus hardware (driver recently landed upstream
        [1]).
    
        This has been tested on Qualcomm's DragonBoard 410c and 820c
        Configure/make scripts have been validated on Ubuntu 10.04 and
        16.04.
    
        Tested decoders:
               - h264
               - h263
               - mpeg4
               - vp8
               - vp9
               - hevc
    
        Tested encoders:
               - h264
               - h263
               - mpeg4
    
        Tested transcoding (concurrent encoding/decoding)
    
        Some of the changes introduced:
            - v4l2: code cleanup and abstractions added
            - v4l2: follow the new encode/decode api.
            - v4l2: fix display size for NV12 output pool.
            - v4l2: handle EOS (EPIPE and draining)
            - v4l2: vp8 and mpeg4 decoding and encoding.
            - v4l2: hevc and vp9 support.
            - v4l2: generate EOF on dequeue errors.
            - v4l2: h264_mp4toannexb filtering.
            - v4l2: fixed make install and fate issues.
            - v4l2: codecs enabled/disabled depending on pixfmt defined
            - v4l2: pass timebase/framerate to the context
            - v4l2: runtime decoder reconfiguration.
            - v4l2: add more frame information
            - v4l2: free hardware resources on last reference being released
            - v4l2: encoding: disable b-frames for upstreaming (patch required)
