Research direction
Start by inspecting media_softlet/linux/xe3_lpm_r0/ddi/capstable_data_xe3_lpm_r0_specific.h around line 399 and compare the advertised AV1 profiles with Intel's referenced capability. Check how this capability table is exposed through VAAPI; done means supported hardware reports AV1 Profile 1 in addition to Profile 0.
