Fourier's local patch already wired multiplanar plumbing through
src/v4l2.c (helpers v4l2_type_video_{output,capture}() at lines 59-69,
struct v4l2_plane planes[] threading in QUERYBUF/QBUF/DQBUF, per-plane
EXPBUF loop at line 411) and through src/context.c, src/buffer.c,
src/picture.c via the v4l2_type_video_{output,capture}(video_format
->v4l2_mplane) helper calls.
The remaining gap: the NV12 entry in src/video.c was hardcoded to
v4l2_mplane=false, and the bootstrap path in src/surface.c was
hardcoded to singleplanar literals before video_format is populated.
This patch flips the NV12 entry to v4l2_mplane=true and updates the
two singleplanar literals in src/surface.c to their MPLANE variants:
- src/video.c:42 v4l2_mplane=false -> true (NV12 only;
Sunxi-tiled NV12 left at false for cedrus compatibility)
- src/surface.c:84 output_type = v4l2_type_video_output(true)
- src/surface.c:109 v4l2_find_format(..., CAPTURE_MPLANE, NV12)
Empirically, hantro-vpu (RK3568 mainline) advertises NV12 only under
V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE; querying the singleplanar type
returns no match (verified via VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT in Phase 3 GStreamer
strace baseline).
Trade-off accepted: legacy sunxi-cedrus singleplanar NV12 paths are
left unchanged via the SUNXI_TILED_NV12 entry (still mplane=false,
__arm__ only). Pure-NV12 cedrus on aarch64 would regress, but the
known userbase here is RK3566/RK3568 hantro.

Compound patch carrying the fork's pre-Step-1 substrate, originally
authored by Jernej Škrabec / fourier on top of bootlin's a3c2476:
- src/h264.c + src/picture.c: V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_* renamed to
V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_*, struct shapes tracked to mainline
(V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_DECODE_MODE/_START_CODE added to the
passthrough shim).
- include/hevc-ctrls.h: redirect shim to <linux/v4l2-controls.h>
(kernel-side HEVC controls now live in the canonical UAPI header).
- src/meson.build: src/h265.c / src/h265.h commented out — HEVC
build path is excluded from this fork (RK3568 hantro G1/G2 has
no HEVC, and the kernel-side HEVC controls have a separate
rework in flight upstream).
- src/tiled_yuv.S: aarch64 stub for tiled_to_planar (assembly
source was sunxi-cedrus armv7-only; aarch64 needs a stub to keep
the build linking).
- include/h264-ctrls.h: removed (dead post-fourier — no source
includes it; the passthrough shim's CID aliases live in the
kernel header now).
Functionally equivalent to the prior fork master commits:
c1f5108 V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264_SLICE rename
4ccbfe9 Strip HEVC build path
da9f2a5 include/h264-ctrls.h passthrough + CID aliases
fc4bb10 src/h264.c track upstream UAPI shape
13e9b64 src/h264.c drop num_slices field
4d14ffb src/tiled_yuv.S aarch64 stub
1b02c9b src/h264.c include utils.h
Folded into one commit during 2026-05-04 Step 1 reconciliation
(see ../phase0_evidence/2026-05-04/findings.md). Per-patch history
of the early fork commits preserved on the pre-step1 branch.

Distritubions may install libraries under architecture-specific
sub-directories, to support multiple architectures on the same
system. In addition, the user may not wish to install the library
with the default prefix.
Use the libdir variable when setting the install path. This
allows both specifying different sub-directories, and a different
prefix.
The system normally has kernel headers shipped with the distribution.
These typically lag behind actual kernel releases. Thus they would not
have the latest API additions, such as the V4L2 request API this driver
uses.
However, it is also bad practice to just install new kernel headers into
the system wide default location, as there may be some differences
between it and what the C library was built against.
Add an option to specify a path to a set of up-to-date kernel headers.
This would allow the user to build this project in a safe but working
environment.

Apparently, pixelformats are expected to be settable although
the reason is not exactly clear to me.
However, intel vaapi driver sets all its pixelformats as
settable, and gstreamer-vaapi expects that as well.

Because there might be more than a single call to CreateSurfaces,
we cannot assume that the index relative to the number of surfaces
requested in a single call matches the v4l2 index.
Grab the base index (as returned by the kernel) when allocating
buffers and use it for memory mapping and addressing them in v4l2.
This avoids memory-mapping the first (index 0) buffer multiple times
in that scenario instead of the n-th allocated buffer (in the n-th
call in the sequence).

The V4L2 API does not currently provide a way to liberate allocated
buffers one by one (which would fit well with DestroySurfaces in
VAAPI). Moreover, streaming needs to be off before liberating
buffers is allowed.
As a result, output an capture buffers can only be liberated when
destroying the decoding context, all at once, such as implemented
in this patch.

Although this is not needed when using the combination of CREATE_BUFS and
QUERYBUF V4L2 ioctls (as currently done) to allocate and prepare buffers,
the REQBUF ioctl is useful to liberate the buffers after use.
This introduces a helper for this purpose.

Since the V4L2 ioctl is called QUERYBUF, it makes more sense to
call the associated function with the same name.
