Is there a convention around sizing the enum explicitly if you're going to use
it as a bitset on an explicitly sized int?

i didn't see anything in the style guide about it.  existing code has examples
both ways, didn't see a clear winner.  keeping as is for now.

+
+      // Normally, the VDA is required to be able to provide all PictureBuffers
+      // to the client via PictureReady(), even if the client does not return
+      // any of them via ReusePictureBuffer().  The client is only required to
+      // return PictureBuffers when it holds all of them, if it wants to get
+      // more decoded output.  See VideoDecoder::CanReadWithoutStalling for
+      // more context.
+      // If this flag is set, then the VDA does not make this guarantee.  The
+      // client must return PictureBuffers to be sure that new frames will be
+      // provided via PictureReady.

Nit: uint32_t (uint32 is going away)

Done, and in gpu_info.h
