Subject: [PATCH 09/10] staging: media: cedrus: h616: use the 256-bit DDR mode
Date: Mon,  2 Nov 2026 18:03:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102170303.1973892-10-jernej.skrabec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261102170303.1973892-1-jernej.skrabec@gmail.com>

With the DDR mode in VE_MODE set to 128-bit, which the driver uses on
all SoCs, the H616 H.264 engine reads corrupted reference chroma, while
luma is fine. H.264 and VP8 P frames come out with bit-exact luma, but
with about 22 dB PSNR chroma. H.265 and MPEG-2 are unaffected.

The vendor library selects the DDR mode based on the VE IC version. It
uses the 256-bit mode without the 2 MiB reconstruction write mode on
the H616, and keeps the 128-bit mode with the 2 MiB reconstruction
write mode on older SoCs, like the H6. Doing the same on the H616 makes
all codecs bit-exact (tested with BA_MW_D, CABA2_Sony_E,
vp80-00-comprehensive-002, AMP_A_Samsung_7 and MEI.stream16).

Make the VE_MODE DDR settings a variant property and add an H616
variant, which uses the 256-bit mode. Replace the FIXME about the
DDR mode with a description of what the vendor library does.

Fixes: 1f24d4307515 ("staging: media: sunxi: cedrus: add H616 variant")
