Hi Jernej,

Thanks for your feedback, getting a list of missing items in HEVC uAPI
will definitively help to fill the hope.
The patch you mention for rkvdec are already merged in mainline kernel (at
least for uAPI part).
Cedrus needs are about num_entry_point_offsets, offset_len_minus1 and entry_point_offset_minus1[ i ]
in HEVC specifications ?

Regards,
Benjamin
