How do you put this in an AVFrame then ?

"transparently" yes, but in sw. A <10W arm soc wouldn't like to
"transparently" convert 1080p at 25fps like that

also, last time I checked, libv4l2 didnt support NV12MT

I don't understand this.

This is needed for HW decoding on MFCv5: it is the only format decoders
can produce. To use it in your application, you send it to the m2m
filter to get something sane.
