Good to hear that there are new codecs to use the V4L2 codec API :)

My two cents are following - when you add a control that does the same work
as a driver specific control then it would be great if you modified the
driver that
uses the specific control to also support the newly added control.
This way future applications  could use the control you added for both new
and
old drivers.

In future versions of this patch set please include modification of the
s5p-mfc
diver, this shouldn't be much work. 

Regarding the changes in the API I would like to hear also Hans Verkuil's
opinion, as he was a great help when I introduced the changes in the codec
API.

Any comments Hans?

Best wishes,
