Lukas Rusak appears to have only submitted up to v3 of his patches in 2018.

This appears to be from a comment in 
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/4bbeff66-6123-9296-5775-96d75809eee0@jkqxz.net/

However, with the `#if CONFIG_LIBDRM`s added by Mark Kendall for MythTV, 
I don't think it is a hard dependency.

AVCodec::pix_fmts was deprecated, so I replaced it with 
avcodec_get_supported_config() in
https://github.com/ulmus-scott/FFmpeg/commit/7ac4b4fc2282b4fdda78ffb1a446ceb85b681661

Was that incorrect?

That is from 
https://github.com/lrusak/FFmpeg/commit/8405b573e83838e6b2fea99825fbef32ee9f7767

I agree return 0 is strange.  All I can say is that is what the code 
used by MythTV is and has been for years.  (Maybe MythTV always requests 
AV_PIX_FMT_DRM_PRIME?)

This change is not used by MythTV but maybe 
https://github.com/lrusak/FFmpeg/commit/ffc4419f456c00ab71cf93f792b0473c6de14e64 
is related or an alternate way of requesting the pixel format?

This is from

I don't know what you mean by "let user specify device".

I don't know, but Lukas Rusak removed that in his v5 patch (not used by 
MythTV) 
https://github.com/lrusak/FFmpeg/commit/8595d06d4909bbec0aa14625fcfc869c6bcef696

This is from the main patch 
https://github.com/lrusak/FFmpeg/commit/2cb8052ac65a56d8a3f347a1e6f12d4449a5a614

Unless this is used internally by FFmpeg, MythTV does not appear to use it.
