I submitted the first version at:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg144244.html
As soon as it is updated we can add it to fuzzer. I believe some
pre-setup/fixed configuration would work.

I don't know much about fuzzer's code, if you could give me some
pointers I can help with that.

Thanks
