As we talked in IRC, I am not sure the field coded picture is supported in HEVC.
And I don’t why there would be two pic order cnt, a picture can only be used a short term or a long term reference at one picture decoding

I am writing a V4l2 driver for rockchip based on the previous vendor driver I sent to mail list. I think I would offer a better way to describe the meta after that. But it need both work in derives and userspace, it would cost some times.
