[vlc-devel] [PATCH 16/48] decoder: split the decoder format update in 2 parts

[Steve Lhomme]

The first part is to create the decoder device.
The second part is to create the display module (or other depending on the
decoder owner).

Turn decoder_UpdateVideoFormat() is calling the two new functions.
