Yeah, the 80-chars limit can be ignored. But there's more warnings and
checks that should be addressed.

Then you can still pass directly the vb2 buffer pointer, that would
remove the mv_col_buf_addr, dst_luma_addr and dst_chroma_addr. The
idea here is that the less arguments you have in your function, the
easier it is to understand.

The DPB and num_active_dpb_entries will not change from one run to the
other though. And having intermediate functions if that allows to be
clearer is fine as well.
