[v8,09/13] media: uapi: Add a control for HANTRO driver

The HEVC HANTRO driver needs to know the number of bits to skip at
the beginning of the slice header.
That is a hardware specific requirement so create a dedicated control
that this purpose.

version 5:
 - Be even more verbose in control documentation.
 - Do not create class for the control.
version 4:
- The control is now an integer which is enough to provide the numbers
  of bits to skip.
version 3:
- Fix typo in field name

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for the patch.

We are moving away from "MPEG" terminology for codecs.

> +#define V4L2_CID_CODEC_HANTRO_BASE                             (V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_CODEC | 0x1200)

Using V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_CODEC_STATELESS is IMO better,
since this belongs to a stateless decoder.

And also, since we are still a bit unsure about the
syntax of this parameter (given it's not documented):

how about keeping the V4L2_CID_HANTRO_HEVC_SLICE_HEADER_SKIP
definition in drivers/staging/media/hantro/hantro.h ?

This would be a hint for applications that this control
is a quirk.

Hans, Philipp, any thoughts on this?

Ezequiel
