Building rkvdec-vdpu383-h264.c can take a few hours to finish building
with Clang 20.1.0 or newer when compile testing for Hexagon. While this
is further investigated and understood on the LLVM side [1], disable
CONFIG_VIDEO_ROCKCHIP_VDEC when compile testing for Hexagon.

This is clearly not a pleasing change to make. As this specific data structure
and usage of bitfield has been discussed (along with the numerous issues in
clang/llvm around these). We also agreed to move away from bitfield for this
data structure and use a bitwriter. I would favour delaying this change to
give
devs the time to port instead. Ping again if nothing moves within few weeks.

best regards,
Nicolas
I haven't heard back about the port to plain bitwriter. I guess I have to pick
this patch, but I really don't want to have to maintain too many of these hacks.
Anyone else with an opinion on the topic ? Or a better idea how this can be
workaround differently ?
