Dave Airlie ☛ Dave Airlie: radv: vulkan VP9 video decode
The Vulkan WG has released VK_KHR_video_decode_vp9. I did initial work on a Mesa extensions for this a good while back, and I've updated the radv code with help from AMD and Igalia to the final specification.
There is an open MR[1] for radv to add support for vp9 decoding on navi10+ with the latest firmware images in linux-firmware. It is currently passing all VK-GL-CTS tests for VP9 decode.
