Subject: [PATCH v9 3/4] media: pixfmt: Add H264_SLICE_RAW format documentation

The H264_SLICE_RAW format introduced before is meant for stateless
decoders that will need the H264 parsed slice data without the start code.

Let's document it.

+	stateless video decoders that implement an H264 pipeline
+	(using the :ref:`mem2mem` and :ref:`media-request-api`).
+	Metadata associated with the frame to decode are required to
+	be passed through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SPS``,
+	``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_PPS``,

+	:ref:`associated Codec Control IDs <v4l2-mpeg-h264>`.  Exactly
+	one output and one capture buffer must be provided for use
+	with this pixel format. The output buffer must contain the
+	appropriate number of macroblocks to decode a full
+	corresponding frame to the matching capture buffer.
+
+	.. note::
+
+	   This format is not yet part of the public kernel API and it
+	   is expected to change.
