[PATCH v2] media: v4l2-ctrls: default HEVC SPS chroma format to 4:2:0
From: Tharit Tangkijwanichakul
Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 13:47:14 EST
The default value of a compound control is zero initialized when no
explicit default is provided. For V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_HEVC_SPS this results
in chroma_format_idc being set to 0, which represents monochrome video.
Most stateless HEVC decoders do not support monochrome video. In
particular, the VDPU38x variant of rkvdec fails v4l2-compliance in two
tests related to V4L2_CID_STATELESS_HEVC_SPS. The Control ioctls test
reads the control with GET_EXT_CTRLS and writes the same value
back; TRY_EXT_CTRLS then returns -EINVAL because the VDPU38x
rkvdec_hevc_validate_sps() rejects sps->chroma_format_idc == 0.

Control ioctls:
fail: v4l2-test-controls.cpp(942):
try_ext_ctrls returned an error (22)
test VIDIOC_G/S/TRY_EXT_CTRLS: FAIL
Buffer ioctls:

test blocking wait: FAIL
Set the common HEVC SPS compound control default to
chroma_format_idc = 1, corresponding to 4:2:0.

Changes in v2:
- Move the HEVC SPS default from rkvdec to the common V4L2 control core,
as suggested by Nicolas Dufresne.
- Default V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_HEVC_SPS chroma_format_idc to 1 (4:2:0).
