[PATCH v6,1/2] media: uapi: HEVC: Add num_delta_pocs_of_ref_rps_idx field

From: Yunfei Dong
Date: Wed May 24 2023 - 02:04:41 EST


From: Benjamin Gaignard <benjamin.gaignard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some drivers firmwares parse by themselves slice header and need
num_delta_pocs_of_ref_rps_idx value to parse slice header
short_term_ref_pic_set().
Use one of the 4 reserved bytes to store this value without
changing the v4l2_ctrl_hevc_decode_params structure size and padding.

This value also exist in DXVA API.
