i have not seen an issue with my implementation, but used
media-staging [1] for the last attempt to try to get as much of the
latest hantro driver integration, although the VP9 stuff isn't quite
ready yet on the g2-VPU

I didn't know about this one either, so I'll try it.

When I was attempting to read registers from the H1 vpu, I had to set
"keep_clocks = true" for the H1 power domain or it would hang.  If the
patch Lucas suggests doesn't work, you could try keeing the G1 or G2
clocks on.  I believe it's already set for the vpumix, but the G1, G2
and H1 clocks are not touched by the vpumix, just the
IMX8MM_CLK_VPU_DEC_ROOT.
