+ video: hide UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder flag on VA-API devices
+
+ We are seeing crashes causes by this CHECK statement:
+ https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:content/public/browser/gpu_utils.cc;l=151;drc=0e777ba9b6c34611705d5b145c92bcd09539011c
+ It's triggered when the user manually disables the UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder
+ flag on VA-API devices (Intel and AMD). This flag is supported only on
+ non-Intel and non-AMD devices. This CL adds this information to the flag
+ description and hides the flag in case VA-API is used.
+
+ Bug: 1469285
+ Test: manual test on volteer
