From de06f289283298e2938445019999cec46435375c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Kocialkowski Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 12:26:53 -0300 Subject: media: pixfmt: Document the HEVC slice pixel format Document the current state of the HEVC slice pixel format. The format will need to evolve in the future, which is why it is not part of the public API.
