[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avcodec: Require avoptions for the user to set max_pixels.

[Michael Niedermayer]

When we will backport this, it will be inevitably in a different location
in AVCodecContext in each release and master. 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and master
use the same soname though and must have a binary compatible interface.
It thus can only saftely be accessed through AVOptions

It may be enough to require this only in the releases but that could be
rather confusing.
