The above has the JPEG decoder driver integrated into the hantro driver
which turned out to be the wrong abstraction, so I had to split this
series up into two, one for the Hantro fixes and one for the now
standalone JPEG decoder driver which is this series. I decided to start
freshly for both series instead of treating one as continuation of the
other.
