media: uapi: HEVC: Add v4l2_ctrl_hevc_ext_sps_[ls]t_rps controls

2026-01-21T13:43:09+00:00

Some hardware (e.g.: Rockchip's rk3588 hevc decoder) need to fully parse the slice header, which cannot be passed with the current controls. There is also no skip method similar as to what can be found in verisilicon HW. The SPS is therefore extended through these 2 new controls, providing the long and short term reference information from the slice header for HEVC decoding. These now controls are similar as what is passed in the Vulkan Video API with the StdVideoH265ShortTermRefPicSet and StdVideoH265LongTermRefPicsSps structures embedded in the SPS struct.

Document that -ENXIO is returned when the user tries to set a routing configuration not supported by the hardware (or rather the driver). The documentation details the exact cases of this, besides -EINVAL that is already documented for VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_ROUTING.

media: uapi: videodev2: Add support for AV1 stateful decoder

2026-01-14T07:25:55+00:00

Introduce a new pixel format, V4L2_PIX_FMT_AV1, to the Video4Linux2(V4L2) API. This format is intended for AV1 bitstreams in stateful decoding/encoding workflows. The fourcc code 'AV10' is used to distinguish this format from the existing V4L2_PIX_FMT_AV1_FRAME, which is used for stateless AV1 decoder implementation.

If colorspace changes, the client needs to renegotiate the pipeline, otherwise the decoded frame may not be displayed correctly. So add colorspace as a trigger parameter for dynamic resolution change. Signed-off-by: Ming Qian Reviewed-by: Nicolas Dufresne Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dufresne Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil
