Hi Nicolas,

Thanks a lot for the patchset. I have just some style feedback.

Maybe group the I/O together, i.e. the writel would
be right after this readl:

    writel(0, rkvdec->regs + RKVDEC_REG_INTERRUPT);

Unless you really want to ensure this string is greppable,
you can do something like:

v4l2_dbg(debug, 1, &rkvdec->v4l2_dev, "Decoder stopped due to an internal %s.", .... ? "error" : "timeout");

Perhaps we can avoid this vb2_set_plane_payload(&dst_buf->vb2_buf, 0, 0);
if we instead set the payload in rkvdec_job_finish_no_pm().
It would change the behavior, as we would be setting payload
only when state is _DONE, so maybe that's not what you want.

How about this:

static irqreturn_t rkvdec_irq_handler(int irq, void *priv)
{
    struct rkvdec_dev *rkvdec = priv;
    struct rkvdec_ctx *ctx;
    enum vb2_buffer_state state = VB2_BUF_STATE_DONE;
    u32 status;

    ctx = v4l2_m2m_get_curr_priv(rkvdec->m2m_dev);
    status = readl(rkvdec->regs + RKVDEC_REG_INTERRUPT);
    writel(0, rkvdec->regs + RKVDEC_REG_INTERRUPT);

    if (!(status & RKVDEC_RDY_STA)) {
        ...
        state = VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR;
    } else {
        if (ctx->coded_fmt_desc->ops->check_error_info &&
            ctx->coded_fmt_desc->ops->check_error_info(ctx))
            state = VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR;
    }

    if (cancel_delayed_work(&rkvdec->watchdog_work))
        rkvdec_job_finish(ctx, state);

    return IRQ_HANDLED;
}

So it's clear which paths lead to VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR.

Thanks!
