claude-noether dcaa1f12e5 docs: clarify Rockchip silicon — PineTab2 is RK3566, not RK3568
Surfaced during iter7 Track F research: the campaign target hardware
is Rockchip RK3566 silicon (PineTab2). The hantro driver attaches
via the rockchip,rk3568-vpu DT compatible because the RK3566 silicon
is close enough to RK3568 to share that variant. The proper RK3566
mainline driver target (rkvdec2 / vdpu346) has no kernel support yet
— Christian Hewitt's patch series LKML 2025/12/26/206 is unmerged.

Updates the two src/ comments that called the hardware "RK3568":
- context.c: hantro-vpu device-init S_EXT_CTRLS comment now reads
  "via rockchip,rk3568-vpu DT compatible (covers RK3568 and RK3566
  — PineTab2 silicon — since they're close enough)"
- h264.c: DPB pic_num discussion ends "...never surfaced on PineTab2
  (RK3566 via hantro/rk3568-vpu)"

Not a correctness change. Compiles + decodes identically. The
update matters for upstream submission accuracy (bootlin/Rockchip
maintainers will care which silicon the campaign tested on).

* Strip ffmpeg-vaapi's POC sentinel.
*
* ffmpeg's H264POCContext initialises prev_poc_msb to (1 << 16) =
* 0x10000 in libavcodec/h264dec.c (lines 301 and 444 of v8.0). After
* an IDR the idr() helper resets prev_poc_msb to that same sentinel.
* ff_h264_init_poc (libavcodec/h264_parse.c lines 296-305) then
* computes pc->poc_msb as prev_poc_msb when the slice header's
* poc_lsb hasn't wrapped — which is the typical case for normal
* content. The sentinel leaks into field_poc[] and from there into
* VAPictureH264.TopFieldOrderCnt / BottomFieldOrderCnt at
* libavcodec/vaapi_h264.c::fill_vaapi_pic.
*
* Working VAAPI backends (intel-iHD, i965 verified empirically on
* meitner 2026-05-02) tolerate the high word — they either mask it
* or treat POCs as relative comparisons. V4L2 stateless H.264
* driver-side consumers (hantro_h264.c::prepare_table feeds the
* value direct to tbl->poc[]) need the spec value, so we strip the
* sentinel here at the libva-v4l2-request boundary.
*
* Detection by bit-16-set rather than blind subtraction so that a
* future ffmpeg version that fixes the sentinel leak degrades
* gracefully. POC values for non-degenerate H.264 content rarely
* exceed 16 bits; bit 16 set is a strong signal of the sentinel.
*
* Empty DPB slots (VA_PICTURE_H264_INVALID) carry POC=0 by
* libavcodec/vaapi_h264.c::init_vaapi_pic and need no fix-up.

* Level 1.0 → 10, Level 4.1 → 41, Level 5.1 → 51, Level 6.0 → 60.
*

* mpv and only slice data is forwarded in VASliceDataBuffer, so a
* SPS-NAL byte parser is not viable at this layer.
*
* Without framerate we cannot also check MaxMBPS / MaxBR / MaxCPB.
* That gap is acceptable in practice: consumers that push
* temporally-dense streams (high MBPS) almost always also push
* spatially-large frames (high MaxFS), so frame-size-based level
* selection over-allocates on the temporal axis but never
* under-allocates a level the consumer relies on for correct
* decode-resource sizing.
*
