> - Linear interpolation support. Nothing documents this (beyond its

> - All of the extension metadata blocks, but these contain values that
>   seem largely congruent with ST2094, HDR10, or other existing forms of
>   side data, so I will defer parsing/attaching them to a future commit.
> - The patent describes a mechanism for predicting coefficients from
>   previous RPUs, but the bit for the flag whether to use the
>   prediction deltas or signal entirely new coefficients does not seem to
>   be present in actual RPUs, so we ignore this subsystem entirely.
> - In the patent's spec, the NLQ subsystem also loops over
>   num_nlq_pivots, but even in the patent the number is hard-coded to one
>   iteration rather than signalled. So we only store one set of coefs.

These are potentially problematic due to trailing padding in the
structures. This trailing padding might become valid fields in newer
versions of this structure. E.g. av_dovi_metadata_alloc() might
intentionally set the default values of these new fields to invalid
values. Yet lavc (with the old structure) sees them as padding, allowing
the compiler to trash these values on every write to these structures.
More likely though is that they will never be touched at all and
therefore retain their default (zero) initialization. Which might
conflict with the default value of these fields.
This can be fixed by only copying everything up to and including the
last field that we know of for every of these structures. This will
unfortunately increase the maintainence burden a bit.

Here and in get_se_coef below the f32 member of the union is not used
with RPU_COEFF_FIXED, so using the union seems unnecessary. It is also
slightly confusing, because upon seeing this and seeing that the union
is used with RPU_COEFF_FIXED, I expect it to be used for type-punning.

You could just use av_int2float() here instead of adding the union yourself.

Notice that rpu_size is converted to int before init_get_bits8() is
called. (It is not problematic with the use in 6/6 because the size has
already been checked in this case.)
