[PATCH] media: verisilicon: Explicitly disable all encoder ioctls for decoders

[PATCH] media: verisilicon: Explicitly disable all encoder ioctls for decoders

[Paul Kocialkowski]

Call the dedicated v4l2_disable_ioctl helper instead of manually
checking whether the current context is an encoder for the selection
ioctls.

Disabling this IOCTL for JPEG is fine, but for VP8, H.264, HEVC, VP9 and AV1, it
is pretty much mandatory. Otherwise your stream will advertise the padded
dimentions and there would be no way to tell it that what is the cropping window
for bitstream generation purpose. Considering you are looking forward adding
H.264 encoding, do you really want to apply this fix ?

Maybe the lack of context around the patch doesn't make it clear, but this is
to disable the ioctls for decoders (not encoders), which don't need to use the
selection API. This keeps the ioctls enabled and available for all encoders.

I am well aware that this is required to setup the crop in the coded bitstream
and I am definitely using it in my encoding work :)

My bad, miss-read. I think you could reduce the confusion with a subject line
that is narrower:

  media: verisilicon: Explicitly disable SELECTION API ioctl for decoders
