Firstly, AVCodec::pix_fmts was deprecated, which should be replaced by FFCodec::get_supported_config
callback for **internal implementation**. avcodec_get_supported_config is towards for libavcodec API users.

Secondly, AVCodec::pix_fmts and FFCodec::get_supported_config is for **encoder**. For decoder, it’s
AVCodecContext::get_format callback to do the negotiate, for example, h264_slice.c get_pixel_format().

User can create a DRM hw device directly via hwcontext API, and provided to decoder via
AVCodecContext::hw_device_ctx. It don’t looks right to always create hw device directly inside
the decoder implementation.
