[PATCH v2 1/4] media: v4l2-ctrls: Add encoder constant quality control
From: Stanimir Varbanov
Date: Tue Jun 16 2020 - 16:15:43 EST
From: Maheshwar Ajja <majja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
When V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE value is
V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CQ, encoder will produce
constant quality output indicated by
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_CONSTANT_QUALITY control value.
Encoder will choose appropriate quantization parameter
and bitrate to produce requested frame quality level.
