There is control called rc_enable (rate control enable), it must be set
to one if you want to control bitrate.
This control confuses many users, I guess it cannot be removed as it
is already part of UAPI, but enabling it internally by the driver
if user sets bitrate, profille, etc, would make it more saner.
