Hi Nate

Thanks for the patch.

There's a slight confusion betwen V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE and
V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY in your description.

However you're right that MMAL_CONTROL_TYPE_STD_MENU calls
v4l2_ctrl_new_std_menu which doesn't need a menu array (it's
v4l2_ctrl_new_int_menu that does). That means the correct fix is to
define the max value using the relevant enum (in this case
V4L2_CID_POWER_LINE_FREQUENCY_AUTO) and remove the array.

The same is true for V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE - max should be
V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_CBR, and remove the bitrate_mode_qmenu
array.

Thanks,
  Dave
