Hi,

This patch set implements region of interest (ROI) ctrls for video
encoder.

One video encoder IP may support the following two ROI configurations or
one of them:
    1. configure ROI as a rectangular region, and set a delta QP parameter.
    2. configure ROI as a rectangular region, and set a priority parameter.
    3. configure ROI as a QP map as an array. Each value represents the delta QP
of a block in raster scan order. The block size is determined by
the specific IP.
    4. configure ROI as a QP map as an array. Each value represents the absolute QP
of a block in raster scan order. The block size is determined by
the specific IP.

To achieve this, I made the following change:
    1. I reuse the type V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_RECT that is defined in the UVC ROI patchset
    2. Define a ctrl V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ROI_MODE to choose ROI configuration
    3. Define some ctrl to configure ROI
    4. Define a ctrl V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ROI_BLOCK_SIZE to query block size

I referred the patchset "Implement UVC v1.5 ROI" (https://lwn.net/Articles/953532/)
and pick some patches from it.

changelog:

v4
- Improve description in documentation as Hans's comments

v3
- Drop the type V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_REGION
- Split the compound control into 2 ctrls
- Define 4 ROI mode

v2
- export symbol of v4l2_ctrl_type_op_minimum
- export symbol of v4l2_ctrl_type_op_maximum
