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.

Can you clarify how hevc_hdr_skip_length differs from
v4l2_ctrl_hevc_slice_params.data_bit_offset?  At first sight they would
appear to be very similar.

hevc_hdr_skip_length is the difference between the start positions of 2 nals.
v4l2_ctrl_hevc_slice_params.data_bit_offset is the offset of the data in the nal.

I think the hardware is weird enough that we should have detailed
documentation to the exact expectation for this control, i.e. detailing
exactly what syntax elements userspace is expected to pass the distance.

Maybe documenting this somewhere in Documentation/.../media/something,
and then linking that in the kernel-doc comment for hantro_hevc_extra_decode_params.

Thanks,
Ezequiel
