[Libva] [PATCH][RFC] Add vaQuery{Get,Put}ImageFormats()

[Bian, Jonathan]

Hi Gwenole,

I thought that the intent of vaQueryImageFormats() is to return formats that can be used for va{Create, Get, Put)Image(). Are there implementations that can only support GetImage but not PutImage or vice versa? 

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi,

vaQueryImageFormats() returns the image formats supported by vaCreateImage(). However, some implementations may not support
vaGetImage() or vaPutImage() with a particular format. In that case, it may be interesting to know about it beforehand, instead of having the user test the outcome of va{Get,Put}Image() and try another format.

It should also be possible to provide a default implementation right into va/va.c.

WDYT?

Regards,
Gwenole.
