AFAIK only few reset lines are shared in all Allwinner SoC, never for Cedrus 
and even then, this is considered as HW issue. So, I'm good with using reset 
line. This principle is also taken from Hantro driver.

Being stateless core, all context is held in auxiliary buffers, reference 
frames and controls, which are not reset with pulsing reset line, so no, state 
is not lost. Anyway, if decoding fails, you're generally screwed until next 
key frame. You'll have to deal with decoding issues/artefacts nevertheless.

Doing nothing will solve only current job, but HW will still be stuck in 
decoding state. I doubt reprogramming registers and triggering new decoding 
will actually do anything.

I'll check BSP lib sources again. Maybe selecting non-existing decoding mode 
would reset the core. That is already suggested as good thing to do in order 
to put core in low power mode.

IMO we have to do something. Doing nothing will probably just lock up the core 
until next reboot or maybe until trying different decoding mode.

Anyway, I have to find another way to cause decoding job to time out. Currently 
I'm doing this with IOMMU on H6, but that brings down several other things, 
which requires reboot anyway.

Best regards,
Jernej
