That'd be one option. I guess we don't have that elsewhere, do we? In
practice it could work, but it'd prevent having the two queue types in the
same video node. It seems an improbable combination though.

I'd prefer keeping the options separate to maintain v4l2-ctl's ability to
access all aspects of the API, even if unlikely.

But the help option should probably be unified, like it is for SDR.
