I forget a important thing, for the rkvdec and rk hevc decoder, it would
requests cabac table, scaling list, picture parameter set and reference

data been parsed, the decoder would requests a raw data.

For the pps and rps, it is possible to reuse the slice header, just let the
decoder know the offset from the bitstream bufer, I would suggest to add
three properties(with sps) for them. But I think we need a method to mark a
OUTPUT side buffer for those aux data.

I'm not sure this is something we actually want. The whole design
decision was that we wouldn't have a bitstream parser in the kernel,
and doing as you suggest goes against that design.

And either if it is something that turns out to be useful, this is
really out of scope for this series.
