Subject:    [PATCH 2/7] media: cedrus: Fix H264 default reference index count

Reference index count in VE_H264_PPS reg should come from PPS control.
However, this is not really important because reference index count is
in our case always overridden by that from slice header.

We have to decide if we drop pps->num_ref_idx_l0_default_active_minus1
and pps->num_ref_idx_l1_default_active_minus1 fields or add
num_ref_idx_l0_active_override_flag and num_ref_idx_l0_active_override_flag
to slice control.

Current control doesn't have those two flags, so in Cedrus override flag is
always set and we rely on userspace to set slice->num_ref_idx_l0_active_minus1
and slice->num_ref_idx_l1_active_minus1 to correct values. This means that
values stored in PPS are not needed and always ignored by VPU.

If I understand correctly, algorithm is very simple:

ref_count = PPS->ref_count
if (override_flag)
	ref_count = slice->ref_count

It seems that VAAPI provides only final value. In my opinion we should do the
same - get rid of PPS default ref index count fields.
