You probably should mention the default values for MIN_QP and MAX_QP
(I assume those are 0 and 51 and are not driver specific).

Sorry, this still isn't clear to me.
If I set V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_MAX_QP to 50, can I then still set
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_B_FRAME_QP to 51? Or is 50 then the maximum?
In other words, what is the relationship between these three controls
and the MIN_QP/MAX_QP controls.

Same here: how does MIN_QP/MAX_QP influence these controls, if at all.
