Re: [linux-sunxi] [PATCH v2 2/2] media: cedrus: Add H264 decoding support

[Jernej Åkrabec]

Hi,

first, thanks you for working on this! I also spend some time working on H264 
and I have some comments below.

I triple checked above address and it should be 0x220. For easier 
implementation later, you might want to add second scaling list address for 
8x8 at 0x210. Then you can do something like:

cedrus_h264_write_sram(dev, CEDRUS_SRAM_H264_SCALING_LIST_8x8_0,
			       scaling->scaling_list_8x8[0],
			       sizeof(scaling->scaling_list_8x8[0]));
cedrus_h264_write_sram(dev, CEDRUS_SRAM_H264_SCALING_LIST_8x8_1,
			       scaling->scaling_list_8x8[3],
			       sizeof(scaling->scaling_list_8x8[0]));
cedrus_h264_write_sram(dev, CEDRUS_SRAM_H264_SCALING_LIST_4x4,
			       scaling->scaling_list_4x4,
			       sizeof(scaling->scaling_list_4x4));

I know that it's not implemented here, just FYI.

I think subtracting PHYS_OFFSET breaks driver on H3 boards with 2 GiB of RAM. 
Isn't that unnecessary anyway due to

dev->dev->dma_pfn_offset = PHYS_PFN_OFFSET;

in cedrus_hw.c?

This comment is meant for all PHYS_OFFSET subtracting in this patch.

I don't think you have to complicate with two loops here. 
cedrus_h264_write_sram() takes void* and it aligns to 4 anyway. So as long 
input buffer is multiple of 4 (u8[CEDRUS_MAX_REF_IDX] qualifies for that), you 
can use single for loop with "u8 sram_array[CEDRUS_MAX_REF_IDX]". This should 
make code much more readable.

You newer set above flag to buffer so this will be always false.

This one can be inferred from sps->chroma_format_idc.

I really think you should use nal_ref_idc here as it is in specification.  You 
can still fake the data from libva backend. I don't think that any driver 
needs this for anything else than check if it is 0 or not.

You might want to set bit 12 here, which enables active reference picture 
override. However, I'm not completely sure about that.
