Subject: [PATCH v9 3/4] media: pixfmt: Add H264_SLICE_RAW format documentation
Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2019 11:37:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <42479a7eb7cd6cecfe437f150060651404265b70.1554975396.git-series.maxime.ripard@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.dec5630d6b289e0a50e1880be436050471a05269.1554975396.git-series.maxime.ripard@bootlin.com>

The H264_SLICE_RAW format introduced before is meant for stateless
decoders that will need the H264 parsed slice data without the start code.

Let's document it.
