[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v1] lavc/vvc: Avoid UB in DB strength derivation for PLT CUs

When called for palette-predicted CUs, boundary_strength could cause
undefined behaviour due to accessing uninitialised motion information.
The spec doesn't include this, but in the reference software it seems
the deblock strength is always set to 0 for palette CUs due to some
implementation details: perhaps this is a spec issue?
