I am trying to test the decoder with this patchset using v4l2-ctl on mt8173.

I am trying to decode an h264 file into V4L2_PIX_FMT_MT21C format.
I am not able to do it. It seems that the driver expects each buffer to start
with a nal starting code, and the v4l2-ctl command just read the files into
buffers without any parsing.

Can you share the command and the files you used for testing?

Thank you,
Dafna
