Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for picking up the patch.

Well, it may not have functional changes, but it is expected to have
performance impact on a contended AXI bus.

Please describe the performance test that you did to make
sure it's not regressing.

This covers VP8 and H264 on some of the cores (i.MX8 and Rockchip VPU1).
I believe you are missing the VPU2 cores (RK3399), see for instance
rockchip_vpu2_hw_h264_dec.c.

What about MPEG-2? If the tests show no performance impact,
then please do the change for MPEG-2 as well.

Thanks,
Ezequiel
