Add v4l2 layer decoder driver for MT8173

Did you ever test this driver? The above code will *always* return
-EINVAL, with will cause vidioc_vdec_s_fmt() to always fail!

I suspect that what you wanted to do, instead, is:

	switch (fourcc) {
	case V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264:
	case V4L2_PIX_FMT_VP8:
		break;
	default:
		return -EINVAL;
  

The original idea here is that vp8 and h264 are added in later patches.
If get this patch without later patches, it should return -EINVAL.

I noticed your idea, but next time, don't add dead code like that.
Reviewers check patch by patch at the order they're present at the
patch series.

So, don't add something broken by purpose, assuming that it would
be fixed later.

Got it.

Btw, this patch series has also several issues that were pointed by
checkpatch. Please *always* run checkpatch when submitting your work.

You should take a look at the Kernel documentation about how to
submit patches, at:
	https://mchehab.fedorapeople.org/kernel_docs/process/index.html

PS.: this time, I fixed the checkpatch issues for you. So, let me know
if the patch below is OK, and I'll merge it at media upstream,
assuming that the other patches in this series are ok.
  

I did run checkpatch, but I don't know why these issues missed.
probably I run checkpatch for all files not for patches.
I will take a look at the documentation and keep this in mind for future
upstream.
Appreciated for your help.

Checkpatch should be run patch by patch, as we expect that all patches
will follow the coding style and will compile fine, without introducing
warnings.

I do compile the Kernel for every single patch I merge.

Got it. I will follow this.

best regards,
Tiffany
