Add a new control V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VP9_PROFILE for selecting desired profile for VP9 encoder and querying for supported profiles by VP9 encoder or decoder. An existing control V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VPX_PROFILE cannot be used for querying since it is not a menu control but an integer control, which cannot return an arbitrary set of supported profiles. The new control V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VP9_PROFILE is a menu control as with controls for other codec profiles. (e.g. H264)Please ignore my reply to patch 2/2. I looked at this a bit more and what you should do is to change the type of V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VPX_PROFILE to enum. All other codec profile controls are all enums, so the fact that VPX_PROFILE isn't is a bug. Changing the type should not cause any problems since the same control value is used when you set the control. Sylwester: I see that s5p-mfc uses this control, but it is explicitly added as an integer type control, so the s5p-mfc driver should not be affected by changing the type of this control. Stanimir: this will slightly change the venus driver, but since it is a very recent driver I think we can get away with changing the core type of the VPX_PROFILE control. I think that's better than ending up with two controls that do the same thing.
I agree. Actually the changes shouldn't be so much in venus driver. -- regards, Stan
