Dmitry,
I applied this on 6.19.4 mainline and give run with interlaced content (hd tv) on qcs6490 (radxa dragon sbc).
Playback fails like this: https://gist.github.com/warpme/a368983678af0a76af85314808773076
pls see a bootom kernel output showing venus failure.
my sw stack plays ok on e.g rpi4 stateful v4l2m2m so i think root cause isn't in my userspace....
pls let me know if anything extra is required to fix venus decoder issue.
