Re: [PATCH v2 3/4] media: rkvdec: Re-enable H.264 error detection

Hi Nicolas,

I'm still unsure about this patchset.
It sounds like a good approach and a nice
improvement, but I want to make sure I think through it.

Meanwhile, a small comment...

... still uses pr_debug. I would change it so it uses v4l2_dbg,
and can be controlled using the same debug parameter
as you use in patch 4/4.
