We probably need a specific control for that. What happens if there is one in the bitstream? Would the hardware pick it automatically? I think it might make sense to just have a general control for Huffman table, which would be always provided by the user space, regardless of whether it's parsed from the stream or default, so that drivers don't have to care and could just always use it.
