   All H.264 (and other CODECs) prediction are covered . As stated correctly in previous comment, userspace do the bookkeeping. Kernel is aware of the reference buffers and it's attachements (HW specific buffers). All references needed fo

   Correct.

   VP9 and HEVC (H265) kernel user API exist and are being cleaned up. This takes a lot of time and a lot of testing, so bear with us. We don't have any sillicon with enough spec we could write a driver for that supports AV1 at the moment

   Indeed, this type of HW allow decoding an unlimited number of streams (to a certain extend it won't be real time, but will still work until you ran out of RAM). Also suspended streams don't use any resources in some firmware that

   Stateless refer to the HW Interface. The stateless HW can accept decoding jobs in any order as long as all the information is properly provided (parameters extracted and deduces from the bitstream along with the previously decoded reference
