Linux 5.7 Media Updates Add H.264 / H.265 / VP9 Decode To The Meson Driver
The media subsystem updates are predominantly made up by individual media driver updates as usual. Some of the highlights include:
- The Amlogic Meson VDEC driver now has support for VP9 decoding, H.264 decoding, and HEVC decode.
- A new driver for the Sony IMX219 CSI2 8MPix sensor with the new imx219 i2c driver.
- Support for the Allwinner A83T with the Sun8i code and also fixing 4K decoding for the H6 SoC.
- Support for 10-bit bitstreams in the Venus VDEC driver.
- The Hauppauge 461e rev2 USB device is supported now by the em28xx driver.
- AST2600 support within the ASpeed driver.
- Demoting the USBvision driver to staging and its possible dropping outright in the future.
