On that particular note, as part of the effort to develop the driver,
we've also developped two userspace components:

  - v4l2-request-test, that has a bunch of sample frames for various
    codecs and will rely solely on the kernel request api (and DRM for
    the display part) to test and bringup a particular driver
    https://github.com/bootlin/v4l2-request-test

  - libva-v4l2-request, that is a libva implementation using the
    request API
    https://github.com/bootlin/libva-v4l2-request

Did you have something else in mind?

Maxime
