Re: [RFC PATCH] uvcvideo: Add mapping for HEVC payloads

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for the patch.

The patch itself looks OK to me, but could you share a bit more
information about which device(s) implement this ? Are they UVC 1.1
devices ? Could you share their full USB descriptors (retrieved with
'lsusb -v', running as root if possible) ?

Is there anything else needed to get HEVC capture working, such as
extension unit controls, or is this patch enough ? What userspace
software do you use to capture and decode HEVC (or capture it to disk) ?
