Since MFC has different profiles, different quantization parameter ranges for both VP8 and VP9. So we can't use same control ID's for both.
So for example in VP8 with control ID (V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_VPX_MIN_QP), QP ranges from 0-11 and in VP9 with control ID  (V4L2_CID_CODEC_VP9_MIN_QP) QP ranges from 1-24. So we can't club together into single control.
