[PATCH v3] arm64: defconfig: Enable Rockchip video decoder

[Detlev Casanova]

The Rockchip video decoder (rkvdec) provides hardware-accelerated video
decoding on Rockchip SoCs. Enable it as a module so that users of these
widely used platforms get video decoding support out of the box.

Again, open lore or git log and look what was done here.

Which boards (with socs) need it?

That's not valid reasons. Users use distros and distros have their own
defconfig. Plus this is kind of trivial/obvious. If you looked at
previous discussions you would see what is needed here.
