Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] media: pixfmt: Document the HEVC slice pixel format
Date: Fri, 24 May 2019 11:36:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190524093635.1832-4-paul.kocialkowski@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190524093635.1832-1-paul.kocialkowski@bootlin.com>

Document the current state of the HEVC slice pixel format.
The format will need to evolve in the future, which is why it is
not part of the public API.
