Currently, the SLICE_BASED and FRAME_BASED modes documentation is misleading and not matching the intended use-cases. Drop non-required fields SLICE_PARAMS 'start_byte_offset' and DECODE_PARAMS 'num_slices' and clarify the decoding modes in the documentation. On SLICE_BASED mode, a single slice is expected per OUTPUT buffer, and therefore 'start_byte_offset' is not needed (since the offset to the slice is the start of the buffer). This mode requires the use of CAPTURE buffer holding, and so the number of slices shall not be required. On FRAME_BASED mode, the devices are expected to take care of slice parsing. Neither SLICE_PARAMS are required (and shouldn't be exposed by frame-based drivers), nor the number of slices.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
