[PATCH v2 0/3] NVIDIA Tegra210 NVJPG support

Hello,

This series adds support for the NVJPG hardware accelerator found in the
Tegra210 SoC.

The kernel driver is essentially a copy of the NVDEC driver as both
engines are Falcon-based.

For the userspace part I have written a Mesa Gallium backend [1] that,
while still very much experimental, works in decoding images with VA-API.

I have been using ffmpeg to call VA-API with the following command:

ffmpeg -v verbose -hwaccel vaapi -hwaccel_device /dev/dri/renderD129 -i <input.jpg> -pix_fmt bgra -f fbdev /dev/fb0

which decodes <input.jpg> and shows the result in the framebuffer.

The firmware for the engine can be obtained from a Linux for Tegra
distribution. Due to the way the Gallium implementation works for Tegra
the GPU also needs to be enabled.

Thanks!

Diogo
