[PATCH] media: venus: only set H264_TRANSFORM_8X8 on supported hfi versions

[PATCH] media: venus: only set H264_TRANSFORM_8X8 on supported hfi versions

[Martin Dørum]

Setting the H264_TRANSFORM_8X8 property only works on HFI versions
>=4xx. The code used to unconditionally set the property in
venc_set_properties, which meant that initializing the encoder would
always fail unless the hfi_version was >=4xx.

This patch changes venc_set_properties to only set the
H264_TRANSFORM_8X8 property if the hfi version is >=4xx.

I have an APQ8016-based board. Before this patch, the Venus driver
would simply fail with EINVAL when trying to request buffers
(VIDIOC_REQBUFS). With this patch, encoding works
(tested using gstreamer's v4l2h264enc).

I would add a

Fixes: bfee75f73c37 ("media: venus: venc: add support for V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_8X8_TRANSFORM control")

since that is the commit that added this property and expected it to
be used unconditionally in the common venus venc part.

I'm not familiar with the venus encoder driver but I had fixed a couple
of bugs on the venus decoder so I've spent some time looking at the code.

Is true that HFI_PROPERTY_PARAM_VENC_H264_TRANSFORM_8X8 isn't wired for
older HFI versions, but I wonder if that's something that was forgotten
when the property was added in that commit or instead should be ignored
as you do in your patch.

In any case, this fixes a regression that you are experiencing so your
patch should land in my opinion and later can be added to older versions
if that is the correct thing to do.

This HFI is supported on earlier version (atleast for V3). The code [1] 
returns from packetization layer

with -EINVAL as there was no need to set the same. Infact, 8x8 transform 
is auto applied in video firmware

for High/Constrained high profile encoding. Later there were request 
from clients as they wanted to disable

this by setting false with this HFI. So it was added later for V4 and later.

I agree that a Fixes should be added.

Thats correct, I missed to notice the explicit handling for -ENOTSUPP.  
Above suggestion is better than keeping verison checks and

would also avoid deinit.

Hey Martin.

I tried verifying the before/after of your patch last night on db410c as 
@ 
https://git.codelinaro.org/bryan.odonoghue/kernel/-/tree/linux-next-23-05-11-venus-check 


I don't see any difference with h264 playback with or without your patch.

Could you share a command to verify the bug against ?
