Could you rephrase this statement? I really don't understand what you mean.

This assumption is wrong. The v4l client can change the codec by SFMT
without close the device node, in that case we have to destroy and
create a new session with new codec.

In fact you want to be able to call session_init multiple times but
deinit the session only once? The hfi.c layer is designed to follow the
states as they are expected by the firmware side, if you want to call
session_init multiple times just make a wrapper in the vdec.c with
reference counting.

OK in present implementation I decided that the codec is settled when
streamon on both queues is called (i.e. the final session_init is made
in streamon). IMO the correct one is to init the session in
reqbuf(output) and deinit session in reqbuf(output, count=0)?

The problem I see when you skip session_deinit is that the codec cannot
be changed without closing the video node.
