Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 0/5] HEVC/H.265 stateless support for V4L2 and Cedrus

Hi,

Any feedback on this series? I think it was pretty much ready for merge
regarding the comments received so far.

I could craft a rebased v7, with or without additional changes, if needed.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Paul
