Complete the HEVC controls with missing fields from H.265 specifications.
Even if these fields aren't used by the current mainlined drivers
they will be need for (at least) rkvdec driver.

s/size of/size of the/

Section 7.4.8 depicts that the st_ref_pic_set syntax
structure can be part of the SPS or the slice header.

I think we should mention that we talk about the size of the st_ref_pic_set
syntax structure from section 7.4.8 of the specification.

s/size of/size of the/

Can we make this a bit more helpful? The specification doesn't contain
a similar structure to `st_ref_pic_set` for long term pictures. So, as a
programmer this leaves me guessing:
- Which syntax structure's size are we talking about?
- Does this correlate to any of the existing sections of the
specification?
Because in the end, I feel like this documentation should be able to
help a programmer to provide the correct data for the uABI.

I will reword it like that:

  * - __u16
    - ``short_term_ref_pic_set_size``
    - Specifies the size, in bits, of the short-term reference pictures set, described as st_ref_pic_set()

Just ...

s/reference pictures set/reference picture set/

in the specification, included in the slice header (section 7.3.6.1).

s/slice header/slice header or SPS/



* - __u16
   - ``long_term_ref_pic_set_size``
   - Specifies the size, in bits, of the long-term reference pictures set include in the slice header.

s/reference pictures set/reference picture set/

Looking at the documentation it looks like: s/slice header/slice header or SPS/
(For example in section 7.3.6.1:
```
if( long_term_ref_pics_present_flag ) {
if( num_long_term_ref_pics_sps > 0 )
num_long_term_sps
num_long_term_pics
for( i = 0; i < num_long_term_sps + num_long_term_pics; i++ ) {
...
```
)

... and then it looks very good!

Greetings,
Sebastian

     It is the number of bits in the conditional block if( long_term_ref_pics_present_flag ) {...}
     in section 7.3.6.1 of the specification.
