V4L2 has support for encoding with hierarchical frames using the
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_HIERARCHICAL_CODING* controls. This allows for
specifing frame references needed for temporal scalability. Encoding a
single stream with a single layer allows for the layer to be dropped and
the stream to be decoded without artifacts.

ChromeOS is planning to use this feature for the L1T2 web standard[1].
This allows video conferencing apps to encode once for a clients with
different performance/bandwidth capabilities. As the application is a
real time encoder only P frame support is added.

The ChromeOS test framework ("tast") was used to verify that no
regressions are present. This was done on SC7180 ("trogdor"). These
patches were also run on SC7280, but not with as an extensive test set.

Verification of the added controls was done with a bitstream analyser to
make sure that reference frame management is correct.
