[PATCH v3] media: v4l2-ctrl: add control for long term reference.

From: Dikshita Agarwal
Date: Thu Oct 15 2020 - 07:02:59 EST


LTR (Long Term Reference) frames are the frames that are encoded
sometime in the past and stored in the DPB buffer list to be used
as reference to encode future frames.
This change adds controls to enable this feature.

valid start codes can be 3-bytes 0x000001 or 4-bytes 0x00000001.

+``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_LTR_COUNT (integer)``
+ Specifies the number of LTR frames encoder needs to generate or keep.
+ This control is used to query or configure the number of LTR frames.
+ If LTR Count is more than max supported LTR count by driver,
+ it will be rejected.
+ This is applicable to H264 and HEVC encoder and can be applied using

+``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_FRAME_LTR_INDEX (integer)``
+ This control is used to mark current frame as LTR frame.
+ this provides a LTR index that ranges from 0 to LTR count-1 and
+ then the particular frame will be marked with that LTR index.
+ This is applicable to H264 and HEVC encoder and can be applied using
+ request api.
+
+``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_USE_LTR_FRAME (bitmask)``
+ Specifies the LTR frame(s) to be used for encoding the current frame.
+ This provides a bitmask which consists of bits [0, 15]. A total of N
+ LSB bits of this field are valid, where N is the maximum number of
+ LTRs supported. All the other bits are invalid and should be rejected.
+ The LSB corresponds to the LTR index 0. Bit N-1 from the LSB corresponds
+ to the LTR index max LTR count-1.
+ This is applicable to H264 and HEVC encoder and can be applied using
