Mmm I'm not saying it has to be done in the current form, but at the
moment the returned bytesused seems to be wrong (at least Chrome is
not happy). We are returning the total size of the buffer instead of
the actually useful payload.

If the intent is to avoid returning bytesused == 0 except for the
special case of the last buffer, how about the following?

--- a/drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/vdec.c
+++ b/drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/vdec.c
@@ -943,8 +943,7 @@ static void vdec_buf_done(struct venus_inst *inst,
unsigned int buf_type,
               unsigned int opb_sz = venus_helper_get_opb_size(inst);

               vb = &vbuf->vb2_buf;
-               vb->planes[0].bytesused =
-                       max_t(unsigned int, opb_sz, bytesused);
+                vb2_set_plane_payload(vb, 0, bytesused ? : opb_sz);
               vb->planes[0].data_offset = data_offset;
               vb->timestamp = timestamp_us * NSEC_PER_USEC;
               vbuf->sequence = inst->sequence_cap++;

It works fine for me, and should not return 0 more often than it did
before (i.e. never). In practice I also never see the firmware
reporting a payload of zero on SDM845, but maybe older chips differ?
