That's the non-free variant of the iHD driver: https://packages.debian.org/testing/intel-media-va-driver-non-free
Installing that package removes [intel-media-va-driver](https://packages.debian.org/testing/intel-media-va-driver), it has the same sandbox issue for me, but supports encoding. I assume these patent issues you mentioned are about encoding.
