I meant that the EOS handling was not needed in driver after fixing it in
firmware, isn't it ? Was trying to avoid carrying this in driver.
I tend to agree with the comment made by Dmitry in another thread to have decode
enabled with existing firmware, no option but to support the *already* published
bins.
Having said that, these limitation of having a separate EOS dummy buffer is well
sorted out in gen2 HFI which have an explicit DRAIN cmd for it. Hope this
motivates you to migrate to iris soon for AR50LITE variants :)
