[v5,1/2] media: uapi: Add H264 low-level decoder API compound controls.

Message ID 1d374e71ffcc396b71461ea916cac3d957f8d86c.1551964740.git-series.maxime.ripard@bootlin.com (mailing list archive)

Stateless video codecs will require both the H264 metadata and slices in
order to be able to decode frames.

This introduces the definitions for a new pixel format for H264 slices that
have been parsed, as well as the structures used to pass the metadata from
the userspace to the kernel.

I don't see this section being added by this patch. Where does it come from?

Sounds like this could be made a flag to be consistent with how this
kind of fields are represented in the other structs.

This is referring to the the H264 spec itself, as I was trying to
point out with the reference in that paragraph. How would you write
this down to make it more obvious?

Aha, somehow it didn't come to my mind when reading it. How about
something like below?

Unless there is a specific comment, refer to the ITU-T Rec. H.264
specification, section "7.4.2.1.1 Sequence parameter set data semantics"
(as of the 04/2017 edition).

The :ref:`h264` currently expands to "ITU H.264", which means in the
documentation, in the case above, it ends up as

 The bitstream parameters are defined according to ITU H.264. Unless
 there’s a specific comment, refer to the specification for the
 documentation of these fields, section 7.4.2.1.1 “Sequence Parameter
 Set Data Semantics”.

I could change the reference to have "ITU-T Rec. H.264 Specification
(04/2017 Edition)". Would that work for you?

Sounds good to me.

How about tweaking the text a bit too?

The bitstream parameters are defined according to ITU-T Rec. H.264
Specification (04/2017 Edition), section 7.4.2.1.1 “Sequence Parameter
Set Data Semantics”. For further documentation, refer to the above
specification, unless there is an explicit comment stating otherwise.

Best regards,
Tomasz
