GStreamer changes here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/commit/138ecfac54ce85b273a26ff6f0fefe3998f8d436?merge_request_iid=7505

Verisilicon datasheet is not explicit on why WebP must be signaled to 
hardware but WebP decoding fails if not.
Seems to me that such a simple addition on an already existing flag is 
something acceptable and preferable to the development of a new complete 
uAPI for WebP decoding.
