media: docs: dev-decoder: Add one more reason for dynamic change
Add bit-depth change as one more reason which could change in the middle of the stream. For the worst case the stream is 8bit at the beginning but later in the bit-stream it changes to 10bit. That change should be propagated to the client so that it can take the appropriate action. In that case it has to stop the streaming on the capture queue, re-negotiate the pixel format, allocate new buffers and start the streaming again.
