Hi Jernej, Emmanuel,

Thanks for the patch.

The patch looks fairly good, so let's wait and see
what Hans, Paul and Maxime think about it.

FWIW, my humble Reviewed-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel@...labora.com>

It would be good to make sure this doesn't regress
v4l2-compliance, or cause some regression in decoding.

Not really a blocker to merge this, but I'm thinking
that now that we have Fluster for conformance testing,
we could add the VP8 vectors and use them against
Cedrus and Hantro:

Thanks,
Ezequiel
