This is v2 of the series to add support for the Allegro DVT H.264 encoder
found in the EV family of the Xilinx ZynqMP platform.

See v1 [0] of the patch series for a description of the hardware.

I fixed the handling of frames with various sizes and driver is now able to
encode H.264 video in the baseline profile up to 1920x1080 pixels. I also
addressed the issues reported by the kbuild robot for the previous series,
implemented a few extended controls and changed the interface to the mcu to
follow the register documentation rather than the downstream driver
implementation.

I would especially appreciate feedback to the device tree bindings and the
overall architecture of the driver.  
I'll try to review this next week. Ping me if you didn't see a review by the
end of next week.

BTW, can you post the output of 'v4l2-compliance -s'? (make sure you use the
very latest version of v4l2-compliance!)
Thanks, here is the output of v4l2-compliance. I haven't used
v4l2-compliance with the -s switch yet and will look into the reported
failures for the streaming ioctls.

v4l2-compliance SHA: e07d1b90190f2b98fe4f5be20406b49ecbe5b3e7, 64 bits

The driver still only works with the vcu-firmware release 2018.2. I am not yet
sure how to address the different firmware versions, because in addition to
the mailbox sizes, there are also changes within the messages themselves.

I also did not address the integration with the xlnx-vcu driver, yet.
