I know. I thought that's how you wanted the API to look like. After
all, ff_cbs_fragment_uninit always used a context argument without
needing it (cbs_unit_uninit doesn't use its context argument at all
and it is the only place where ff_cbs_fragment_uninit used it; I of
course kept this behaviour when replacing ff_cbs_fragment_uninit). Now
that it seems that this was unintentional, I will send a patch to
remove the argument.

Do you want to omit checking entirely? Or should I still check against
the sentinel? I prefer the latter. I dislike setting an enum to
something else than an enum constant and moreover, if a future
standard would allow (say) color_range > 255 (or a bsf would simply
forget to check the value), but libavcodec does not, then it might be
that the compiler uses char as underlying type for the enum which of
course could not hold such a value.

And how about the gap in the color_primaries values?

Sounds good to me. Naming suggestions welcome.
