[PATCH 0/3] NVIDIA Tegra NVDEC support

Hi all,

with the release of documentation headers for Tegra multimedia engines
(NVDEC, NVENC, NVJPG) [1], I have started working on the corresponding
implementations. Here's the first one, NVDEC.

The kernel driver is a simple Falcon boot driver based on the VIC
driver. Some code sharing should be considered there in the future.
The userspace driver to accompany this is a bit more complicated -
I have expanded vaapi-tegra-driver[2] to support MPEG2 decoding.
It should be noted that the implementation is still very clunky
and has poor performance, but it's a start.

This series is based on top of the "Host1x/TegraDRM UAPI" series.
For testing, appropriate firmware should be obtained from a
Linux for Tegra distribution for now; the GPU should also be
enabled in the device tree.

Series was tested on Tegra186.

Thanks!

Mikko
