It's a bit ambiguous. Are these supposed to be read-only parameters?
Normally min-max is already implied in the control range, so this is a
bit odd. Perhaps it is clear for people who know HEVC, but I'm not
quite sure what to make of it.

This is ugly. Why not make this an array control? This really is an array of
7 values, right? An alternative is to split this in 7 controls just as you did
with V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_HIER_CODING_L?_BR.
The way it is now doesn't work either since G_CTRL(V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_HIER_CODING_LAYER_QP)
would just return the QP for whatever was the last layer you set it for and you can't
query it for another layer.

Is there a HEVC-defined minimum value as well? You mention the max value, but not
the min value, so it made me wonder...
