Okay, the SC7280 is a bit more interesting. For H.264 and VP9 the
results are the same. For H.265 Iris errors out for all tests except for
the one, WPP_E_ericsson_MAIN_2.

The kernel prints the following message:

[   82.573112] qcom-iris aa00000.video-codec: session error for command: d0000000, event id:1009, session id:52ef2000
