The AMD Radeon open-source Linux graphics driver has supported 10-bit HEVC video decode acceleration using the P016 format, but that has caused problems with GStreamer-based software while working fine for the likes of MPV and FFmpeg.
Now with Mesa 20.0-devel, the P010 format is used as the default buffer type for addressing that situation and should make all video decode solutions.
This Radeon 10-bit HEVC video decode change was made as part of this merge request honored today for Mesa Git and could be back-ported to stable series soon.
