"in matrix order" is equivalent to "in raster scan order"?

Could you add this requirement to the
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_SCALING_MATRIX documentation?

This changes the size of struct hantro_h264_dec_priv_tbl. Did this
describe the auxiliary buffer format incorrectly before?

This looks like it could use swab32().

After this change, the second 8x8 scaling list has moved to a different
offset. Is this where the hardware has always been looking for it, or is
there a change missing in another place?
