Hmm - i'm curious: when you are saying "we do support " - it this mean:
1. just support or,
2. suport for demonstrating working state or,
3. support for useful usage (i mean useful in user space like e.g media players)

Isn't target to have option3?

I have qcs6490 and decoder fails on:
-kodi
-mythtv
-mpv

Tested only on 3 major players as i'm afraid other exotic userspace is rather niche for users...

And believe me - repaying to mine users: "hey - my distro supports video decoder on qcs6490 as i can prove it by showing you working test tools on it" is not what they want to see.
