You'd be surprised that we are still upstreaming HEVC/10bit and 4:2:2 support
(well Jonas is) and are missing a proper solution to some needed HW reset logic
(to fix concurrent decoding). Though all these exist in some form in LibreELEC
patchset.

When this is behind, Jonas reported that he might be interested in looking into
rkvdec2. Consider that his is volunteer work, but it would indeed be amazing.
The HW work blob free (no firmware needed) supports up to 8K (rk3588). Some
early work on adding encoder interface for this type of HW is also in progress.
The AV1 decoder for rk3588 (which is a chip from Verisillicon, not RK) is
already upstream.
