Adds the two packages used by Omarchy Mac for Apple Video Decoder support:
avd-fw0.1 builds AsahiLinux's MIT-licensed replacement firmware with Clang/LLVM. The raw firmware is architecture-independent; no Apple firmware extraction is involved.libva-v4l2_request-avd1.3 builds the sofus13 fork with AVD fixes for aarch64. It provides/conflicts withlibva-v4l2_requestand installsasahi_drv_video.soas an alias of the VA-API driver so libva can discover it on Apple Silicon.Both packages track upstream git tags. The VA-API package declares
rebuild_on: ["libva"]because its exported driver entry point follows libva's ABI.Validation
OMARCHY_SKIP_BUILDER_IMAGE=1 bin/build --arch aarch64 --package avd-fw libva-v4l2_request-avd/usr/lib/firmware/apple, includingavd-fw-v2-t0.bin, all mode 0644.Ported from omarchy-mac/omarchy-pkgs-aarch64. Physical decode/playback has not been requalified in this contribution pass. A compatible kernel with Apple Video Decoder support is still required; these packages do not supply that kernel. The driver deliberately tracks the named fork rather than claiming its changes are in the original libva-v4l2_request project.
