Hi Paul,

Some comments below. It looks pretty good, it's mostly small things that I
commented upon.

This seems to be mostly a representation of the MPEG-2 "Picture coding
extension" (6.2.3.1 in ISO/IEC 13818-2: 1995).

Is that correct? I think some references to the standard should be added
were appropriate.

quantization

The american spelling appears to be the standard in our documentation, so
let's stick to that.

So the MPEG-2 spec appears to follow the British spelling, so for consistency
with that spec we should stick to that for the field name.

I'm not sure what is better in the description: stick to quantiser or change
it to the US quantizer. I think we should keep quantiser since it looks weird
otherwise.

According to the MPEG-2 spec (6.3.11) these are all unsigned 8 bit values, so why
use __u32?

I would insert this at V4L2_CID_MPEG_BASE+250

That is close to the existing MPEG2 controls, which makes sense.

and this becomes +251 of course.
