Subject[PATCH v4 01/24] media: doc: Document dual use of H.264 pic_num/frame_num
Date
These two fields need documentation as they have dual meaning. It is also
confusing since pic_num is a derived value from frame_num, so this should
help application developers. If we ever need to make a V2 of this API, I
would suggest to remove pic_num entirely.
