Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] media: v4l2-ctrl: Add control for VP9 profile

Hi, Hans.
Thank you for the review.
Your idea sounds good.

However, I think that changing V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VPX_PROFILE to an enum
breaks both of s5p-mfc and venus drivers.  This is because they call
'v4l2_ctrl_new_std' for it.  For menu controls,
'v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu' must be used.

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/media/platform/s5p-mfc/s5p_mfc_enc.c#L2678
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus/vdec_ctrls.c#L133

I can fix them within the commit for adding VP8_PROFILE control, but
cannot confirm that it works on real devices since I don't have them.
What should I do?

Best regards,
Keiichi
