Currently ff_get_format will go through all usable choices if the chosen
format was not supported. It will fallback to software path if the hardware
init fails.

Provided an option "-require_hwaccel 1" in user-code to detect frame->format and
hwaccel_get_buffer in get_buffer. If hardware init fails, returns an error.

[v2] detect hardware init failures in get_buffer and modify in user-code
[v3] changed the option name, add error message

I would like to see a name like "force_hwaccel". HWACEEL is already required with the option "hwaccel" though it is not to force HW path.

Um, doesn't this just break every hardware case except QSV?  The hwaccel_get_buffer function is only used for QSV, and will be unset for any other cases.  (In fact, I don't think it does anything useful there anyway - maybe it can be removed completely, I'll have a look.)

I think the right place to make this decision (to force a hardware format) is in get_format(), rather than after when the decoder is already configured - this avoids cases where the format you actually wanted was available but you didn't pick it and then fail later.  I had a patch lying around for another purpose which gives you some support for this, just sent if you'd like to have a look.
