ffmpeg: add v4l2 backports and pending patches #3927
Conversation

These changes currently break as much as they solve for Amlogic, but it's fine to merge them if we don't want to hold up other platforms. Once the next batch of Amlogic vdec/firmware changes from @Elyotna land on kernel mailling lists @tmm1 will need to revalidate the ffmpeg side anyway as the updated vdec drivers include some V4L2 compliance changes. Amlogic reached a maturity point where some deliberate breakage and rework is essential to keep the stack aligned with the kernel stateful APIs. And since Python3 is breaking stuff on the Kodi side anyway.. now's a good time. |

Unfortunately this patch set doesn't work properly at the moment and I'm still trying to find some time to debug it properly. Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend and we can have a nicer patch set that properly tracks upstream. |

Are there recommendations with which kernel and patches to check these patches ? |

Closing as will be superseded by #4166 |
All of these patches are either merged upstream or are awaiting approval on the mailing list.
This moves from my original patches to the ones recently submitted by @tmm1
I have yet to runtime test this yet which I will do shortly. @chewitt if you have time you could also test this out (if possible).
