I would add a
Fixes: bfee75f73c37 ("media: venus: venc: add support for V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_8X8_TRANSFORM control")
since that is the commit that added this property and expected it to
be used unconditionally in the common venus venc part.

I'm not familiar with the venus encoder driver but I had fixed a couple
of bugs on the venus decoder so I've spent some time looking at the code.

Is true that HFI_PROPERTY_PARAM_VENC_H264_TRANSFORM_8X8 isn't wired for
older HFI versions, but I wonder if that's something that was forgotten
when the property was added in that commit or instead should be ignored
as you do in your patch.
In any case, this fixes a regression that you are experiencing so your
patch should land in my opinion and later can be added to older versions
if that is the correct thing to do.
