RPI 4B: rpi_hevc_dec broke HEVC decoding

[mobin2008]

Hi. After upgrading linux-rpi from 6.12.13 to 6.12.33 which replaces rpivid with rpi_hevc_dec, rpi_hevc_dec is not automatically loaded into system and after manual modprobe, It does nothing, no logs in dmesg, no /dev/video \ /dev/media interface.

I use Armtix which is Alarm without systemd. linux-rpi package in Armtix is derived from Alarm with minimal changes to config which are in this patch:make_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'https://gitlab.com/phkr/artixarm/-/blob/master/system/linux-rpi/armtix-config.patch?ref_type=heads', '', ' class="postlink"')

Anybody else has similar problem? Currently I downgraded to 6.12.13 as a workaround until finding out what's the problem.

Admins please move this to software/armv8, I accidentally posted it in hardware sub. (Or I will just open another post in software/armv8 if it's not possible). Sorry.

Looks like the issue is because of broken Alarm/Armtix dtb files in linux-rpi after replacing bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb file frommake_clickable_callback(MAGIC_URL_FULL, ' ', 'https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/7e15dd42411d4185290b66eb9ccc581bebb04bf2/boot/bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb', '', ' class="postlink"') the issue get fixed.
