So basically the video decoder is useless without support for this format and
without the MDP driver, right?

I'm wondering if I should hold off on merging the decoder driver until these two
are in. What is the timeline for v6 of the MDP driver?

If a v6 is posted early next week, then I have time to review and (assuming it is
OK) I can make a pull request for both this driver and the MDP driver.

If it takes longer, then there is a good chance that it will slip to 4.10. I will
have very little time in the period September 20 - October 14.

Regards,

Hans
