[PATCH v3 00/19] Clean H264 stateless uAPI

[Ezequiel Garcia]

One more round for the H.264 uAPI cleanup, which as discussed
aims at being stabilized and promoted as a first-class public uAPI soon.

The biggest change here is the rename (and implementation in drivers)
of the V4L2_H264_PPS_FLAG_SCALING_MATRIX_PRESENT flag. The semantics
of this flag are now properly specified and implemented as
discussed on the mailing list, https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/11/888.

Note that your favourite rabbit's video may omit a scaling matrix,
as well as any video with a profile lower than High. So, proper testing
of these patches requires a video that specifies some (non-flat) scaling matrix.

It should be noted that there is already GStreamer native
support for this interface, which will be part of 1.18,
once it's released.

I have pushed a branch porting GStreamer to
support these interface changes:

Changelog:

v2->v3:
* Clarify SCALING_MATRIX present flag.
* Implement optional scaling matrix on hantro, rkvdec and cedrus.
* Make prediction weight table properly optional on cedrus.
* Rename field reference types.

v1->v2:
* Clean SLICE_PARAMS documentation, which we don't
  expect to be part of an array anymore. 
* Clarify how frame-based and slice-based modes
  are expected to work.
* Add Cedrus patches to fix field references,
  as requested by Jernej.
* Fix wrongly removed SPS in rkvdec.
* Fix rkvdec DPB reference implementation.
* Fix missing Cedrus and missing control member,
  for prediction weight table control.
* Say "raster scan" instead of "matrix" in the docs.
* Drop duplicated macros and use v4l2_h264_dpb_reference
  for the DPB reference signalling.

RFC->v1: 
* Split prediction weight table to a separate control.
* Increase size of first_mb_in_slice field.
* Cleanup DPB entry interface, to support field coding.
* Increase of DPB entry pic_num field.
* Move slice invariant fields to the per-frame control.
