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.
