Hi Nicolas,

Missed some comments in my last mail.

Vendor kernel use following comment to describe the purpose of this [1]:

  HW defeat workaround: VP9 and H.265 power save optimization cause
  decoding corruption, disable optimization here.

>From the TRM we can see following for rkvdec_swreg99_qos_ctrl:

  27:26 sw_axi_wr_hurry_level
    00: hurry off 
    01~11: hurry level 
  25:24 sw_axi_rd_hurry_level
    00: hurry off 
    01~11: hurry level 
  23:16 sw_bus2mc_buffer_qos_level
    range is: 0~255
    the value is means that left space <=
    sw_bus2mc_buffer_qos_level, it will give hurry
  15:0 swreg_block_gating_e

So yes this set swreg_block_gating_e to 0xEFFF. Possible this configure
hw to not auto gate most internal clocks?

Could add a comment and possible use something like following:

  reg &= GENMASK(31, 16);
  reg |= 0xEFFF;

Guess so, any suggestion on how to best do that?

One possible way that comes to mind:

  if (rkvdec->quirks & RKVDEC_QUIRK_DISABLE_QOS)
	rkvdec_quirk_disable_qos(rkvdec);
