Re: [PATCH v5, 0/8] Support H264 multi-core encoder on MT8195

[Irui Wang <irui.wang@mediatek.com>]

Dear Nicolas,

Sorry for late, we have tested this change by chrome tast test before:

tast run $IP video.PlatformEncoding.v4l2_h264*

here are the average fps results:
Before:
180p: 1913
180_meet: 1935

360p: 554
360_meet: 571

720p: 159
720_meet: 189

After:
180p: 2236
180_meet: 2337

360p: 820
360_meet: 830

720p: 324
720_meet: 390

Thanks
BRs
