FWIW Rockchip video decode/encode is not in a much better space.

There is the BSP, id est Rockchip's hacked together fork of the 4.4 kernel, which works. But on the mainline kernel h264 is just now getting added (maybe in 5.10), and userspace is still going to take some time to adapt.

I really hope that one day I can actually use the Pinebook Pro webcam for video chats without my CPU spinning while trying to encode (at least) one stream and decode N streams.
