[PATCH v2 03/11] staging: media: cedrus: h264: mark long-term references in the frame info
From: Jernej Skrabec
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 12:56:20 EST
The frame info of a reference has a reference type for each field, in
bits 1:0 for the top field and 5:4 for the bottom one, which is 1 for a
long-term reference. The driver never sets it, so the hardware handles
long-term references like short-term ones, also where they differ, like
in temporal direct and implicit weighted prediction. The vendor library
sets it.
Set it from the DPB entry of each reference. When the second field of a
pair is decoded into the buffer of the first one, the entry of the
output buffer keeps the reference type of the first field.
This fixes MR8_BT_B and MR9_BT_B of the H.264 conformance suite.
Fixes: 6eb9b758e307 ("media: cedrus: Add H264 decoding support")
