I thought this was already discussed, but I think the only thing I've added
is this comment in one of the driver's headers:

 JPEG encoder
 ------------
 The VPU JPEG encoder produces JPEG baseline sequential format.
 The quantization coefficients are 8-bit values, complying with
 the baseline specification. Therefore, it requires application-defined
 luma and chroma quantization tables. The hardware does entrophy
 encoding using internal Huffman tables, as specified in the JPEG
 specification.

Certainly controls should be specified better.

Paragraph 4.7 of that spec, indicates the "sample" precision:
8-bit for baseline; 8-bit or 12-bit for extended.

For the quantization coefficients, the DQT segment contains a bit
that indicates if the quantization coefficients are 8-bit or 16-bit.
See B.2.4.1 for details.

You lost me here, which four sets of tables are you refering to?

It seems it would. From B.2.4.1:

"An 8-bit DCT-based process shall not use a 16-bit precision quantization table."

For quantization coefficients, I can only see two tables: one for luma
one for chroma. Huffman coefficients are a different story and we are
not really adding them here.
