Make explicit that V4L2_CID_STATELESS_HEVC_SLICE_PARAMS control is
a dynamic array control type.
Some drivers may be able to receive multiple slices in one control
to improve decoding performance.

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.

Ok that will be in v6


* @bit_size: size (in bits) of the current slice data
* @data_bit_offset: offset (in bits) to the video data in the current slice data
* @nal_unit_type: specifies the coding type of the slice (B, P or I)
