Meanwhile I have found bigger obstacle - I cannot run multiple instances
simultaneously. By m2m design it can execute only one job (m2m context)
at a time per m2m device. Can you confirm that my observation is correct?

If so one solution could be on every fops::open I can create m2m_dev and
init m2m_cxt.

The m2m framework assumes a single HW instance, yes. Do you have multiple
HW decoders? I might not understand what you mean...

Thanks for the note.

I have started to look into m2m because Hans asked me to reuse the ioctl
helpers that it provides.

I have no problem with usage of the m2m API if they help me to reduce
code size and doesn't impact performance.
