This series adds support for fractions in the control framework, and a way to obtain the min and max values of compound controls such as v4l2_fract. Next it adds the V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ENC_FRAME_RATE control to set the framerate for the encoder. The next patch adds support for the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TOO_SMALL flag to signal that the capture buffer was too small. The final patch adds the encoder spec (unchanged from v3). Michael, can you add support for V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ENC_FRAME_RATE to your encoder driver? Let me know if something isn't working. I need to add a test control for this to vivid as well and add support for this to v4l2-ctl, that's on my TODO list. Open questions: 1) Existing encoder drivers use S_PARM to signal the frameperiod, but as discussed in Lyon this should be the rate at which frames are submitted for encoding, which can be different from V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_ENC_FRAME_RATE. But given the current use-cases I was wondering if calling S_PARM should set the ENC_FRAME_RATE control as well, and you would need to explicitly set the control after S_PARM if the two are not the same. This would mean that existing applications that don't know about the control can keep working. 2) I do believe that we need a RELEASE/DEL/DESTROY_BUFS ioctl in order to do proper handling of the V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TOO_SMALL case. I am inclined to postpone adding this flag until we have that ioctl. We can still merge the stateful encoder spec if we mention that that is work in progress.
