Hi Jacob,

Thank you for the patch.

According to http://ssp.impulsetrain.com/porterduff.html,

"Despite being referred to as alpha blending and despite alpha often being 
used to model opacity, in concept Porter/Duff is not a way to blend the source 
and destination shapes. It is way to overlay, combine and trim them as if they 
were pieces of cardboard."

It then goes on defining blend modes that are a better match for the 
definition of blend. You might thus want to rename this control.

Controls need to be documented in Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/control.rst or 
Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/extended-controls.rst.

The image processing class (V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_IMAGE_PROC) would seem like a 
better fit than the base class for this control.
