This patch serie changes the decoding mode from "exit on error"
to "keep decoding". Using this mode and re-enabling error detection
allow getting error resilience without loosing the ability to report
errors to userland. This have showed great results, but might be a
little more risky since this is not the mode that the reference code
uses and the documentation is very brief. With this in place,
userspace can chose to skip or display corrupted frames depending
on its application requirement. Previsouly, applicaiton would have
had no choice but to present the corrupted frames.

Changes since V1:
	- Removed merged patch
	- Changed usage of pr_debug into v4l2_dbg
	- Fix typos in commit messages and comments

Use RKVDEC_H264_ERR_EN_HIGHBITS() here? Only lower 30 bits are valid.

Apart from the minor comments in patch 3, the series is

Do we need to add the check_error_info op for VP9?

Hi Nicolas,

I'm still unsure about this patchset.
It sounds like a good approach and a nice
improvement, but I want to make sure I think through it.

Meanwhile, a small comment...

... still uses pr_debug. I would change it so it uses v4l2_dbg,
and can be controlled using the same debug parameter
as you use in patch 4/4.

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the patch.

I don't think it's a good idea to mix the return of this internal API
with enum vb2_buffer_state.

Please make the return type of this function a boolean or an integer
type that is decoupled from the VB2 buffer state.

Thanks!

I was simply reverting back to the value it was before, I can try that too, you
are likely right.

Good catch, I missed that one, will fix.

In general, I try to avoid changes I cannot test. If you happen to have VP9 with

H.264 and VP9 indeed. Though, the TRM discourage from enabling the "keep
decoding on error" mode we use here.
