I'm not sure about this comment, but I'm sure you forgot:

Also, in AV1 we have V4L2_AV1_MAX_TILE_COUNT, which can be used in cfg.dims,
something the driver will actually set. We could have

#define V4L2_HEVC_MAX_TILE_COUNT 600

And drives can set:

   .dims = { V4L2_HEVC_MAX_TILE_COUNT },

In the control config.
