The Hantro and Cedrus drivers work in frame-mode, meaning they expect all the slices in a picture (either frame or field structure) to be passed in each OUTPUT buffer. These two are the only V4L2 MPEG-2 stateless decoders currently supported. Given the VA-API drivers also work per-frame, coalescing all the MPEG-2 slices in a buffer before the decoding operation, it makes sense to not expect slice-mode drivers and therefore remove V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMS. This is done to avoid carrying an unused interface. If needed, this control can be added without breaking backwards compatibility. Note that this would mean introducing a enumerator control to specify the decoding mode (see V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_DECODE_MODE).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
