Mode register also holds information if video width is bigger than 2048
and if it is equal to 4096.

Rework cedrus_engine_enable() to properly signal this properties.

Thanks for the patch, looks good to me!

Acked-by: Paul Kocialkowski <paul.kocialkowski@bootlin.com>

One minor thing: maybe we should have a way to set the maximum dimensions
depending on the generation of the engine in use and the actual maximum
supported by the hardware.

Maybe either as dedicated new fields in struct cedrus_variant or as
capability flags.

Anyway that can be done later since we were already hardcoding this.

Cheers,

Paul

I was thinking about first solution, but after going trough manuals, it was 
unclear what are real limitations. For example, H3 manual states that it is 
capable of decoding H264 1080p@60Hz. However, I know for a fact that it is 
also capable of decoding 4k videos, but probably not at 60 Hz. I don't own 
anything older that A83T, so I don't know what are capabilities of those SoCs. 
Anyway, being slow is still ok for some tasks, like transcoding, so we can't 
limit decoding to 1080p just because it's slow. It is probably still faster 
than doing it in SW. Not to mention that it's still ok for some videos, a lot 
of them uses 24 fps.

Best regards,
Jernej

So I guess in this case we should try and see. I could try to look into it at
some point in the future too if you're not particulary interested.

I agree, it's best to expose the maximum supported resolution by the hardware,
even if it means running at a lower fps.

Do you know if we have a way to report some estimation of the maximum supported
fps to userspace? It would be useful to let userspace decide whether it's a
better fit than software decoding.

Paul

Well, I can take a look at my HW, but I have only few SoCs with more or less 
same capability.

I took a quick look at existing controls, but I don't see anything 
appropriate.

This may be true for the Allwinner case as we know it today but not true in
general. It could happen that the CPU is perfectly able to decode as fast as or
faster than the hardware implementation, but userspace would still try to use
hardware video decoding when it can provide good enough performance so that the
CPU can do other things in the meantime.

Having a good idea of the expected performance is important for userspace to
make this kind of policy decision.

This is kind of a common misconception that hardware offloading always implies
a performance improvment. In our cases where the CPU is a bottleneck, it is
more often true than not, but this is by far not true in general.

Cheers,

Paul
