Does not work with recent (5.11+) kernels

[matthijskooijman]

It seems this tool is intended to compile against older patched kernels, and duplicates some header files that are private header files in those kernel versions. In torvalds/linux@46a309d27517 (5.11), the H264 symbols were made public API, causing a compiletime conflict. They API was also changed, so this tool likely needs more changes to work with that.

A similar thing probably happened for HEVC, though I have not looked beyond 5.13.

See also bootlin/libva-v4l2-request#38 for some updates to the libva-v4l2-requests tool that aim to fix this there.

This is probably something the maintainers and regulars of this repo are already aware of, but I wanted to create this issue to also make this visible to new users.

Has there been any progress since January in making this work for recent-ish kernels ?

Or has v4l2-request-test been abandoned ?
