[PATCH v4 0/5] media: meson: vdec: Add VP9 decoding support

From: Neil Armstrong
Date: Thu Feb 06 2020 - 03:41:59 EST


Hello,

This patchset aims to bring VP9 decoding support to Amlogic GXL, G12A & SM1
platforms for the amlogic stateful video decoder driver.

With this, it passes v4l2-compliance with streaming on Amlogic G12A and
Amlogic SM1 SoCs successfully using the stream at [1] with a fixed
pyv4l2compliance script for VP9 at [2].

The original script kept the IVF headers in the stream, confusing the
decoder. The fixed script only extracts the payload from the IVF container.

The decoder has been tested using the Google CTS TestVectorsIttiam VP9 yuv420
samples and the VP9 Decoder Performance streams at [5], decoding all streams from
Profile 0 and 2 up to Level 4.1, with 10bit downsampling to 8bit.

This patchset depends on :
- H.264 and compliance at [4]

Changes since v3 at [7]:
- fixes necessary spare ref buffer handling in parser
- added a comment to indicate how it's handled
- fix VP9 on SM1, was working with G12A firmware, but needed some changed with SM1 specific firmware
- pushed (gxl) and switched to missing (sm1) vp9 firmwares to linux-firmware repo

Changes since v2 at [6]:
- Rebased on H.264 and compliance at [4]

Changes since v1 at [3]:
- Fixed compliance for delta frame resize, but proper ref keeping is broken
- Added warns for delta frame resize, to be fixed in a following patchset
- Added VP9 probabilities parsing and transformation support to decore the VP9 performance streams
- Fixed refs keeping, avoid deleting necessary refs for next frame
- Properly used the kernel clamp_val() macros
- Zeroed the workspace to avoid refs handling glitches
- Add lock around the flush & stop to avoid race between IRQ and drain/stop
