I wrote a program that prints the sizes of all possible messages: http://ix.io/3zsr
compiling it to arm64 gives:

sizeof(mdp_ipi_comm) is 24
sizeof(mdp_ipi_init) is 16

sizeof(venc_ap_ipi_msg_deinit) is 8
sizeof(venc_ap_ipi_msg_enc_ext) is 164
sizeof(venc_ap_ipi_msg_enc) is 32
sizeof(venc_ap_ipi_msg_set_param_ext) is 144
sizeof(venc_ap_ipi_msg_set_param) is 48
sizeof(venc_ap_ipi_msg_init) is 16

sizeof(vdec_ap_ipi_cmd) is 8
sizeof(vdec_ap_ipi_init) is 16
sizeof(vdec_ap_ipi_dec_start) is 24

BUT, when printing the size in the kernel I got "sizeof(mdp_ipi_comm) = 20" and found out
that this is due to the macro #pragma pack(push, 4) in mtk_mdp_ipi.h

so for mdp it makes sens to always do the memset/memcpy but for mtk-vcodec it is not necessary.
In addition, if the message is one of 'venc_ap_ipi_msg_enc_ext' or 'venc_ap_ipi_msg_set_param_ext' then vpu_ipi_send
will fail in the beginning of the function since in those cases we have 'len > sizeof(send_obj->share_buf)'.
so I should send a patch that set SHARE_BUF_SIZE to e.g. 200

I also found out that adding #pragma pack(push, 4) to the definitions of the mtk-vcodec messages has no influence but
maybe this should be added since we copy those messages to hw , so might avoid future bugs.

thanks,
Dafna
