The number of 'entry point offset' could be very variable.
Rather than use a large static array define a v4l2 dynamic array
of integer control.
I suggest we should be more specific and say U32 (V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_U32).

The number of entry point offsets is reported by the elems field.
I did few more tests and these are my findings:
1. dynamic array can't be set over size, specified in .dims array
2. entry point offsets are per slice, so if we make slices dynamic array,
then
entry points would become two dimensional dynamic array
3. num_entry_point_offsets must be part of slice control, because it can be
zero, but size of array can't be
Clarification: num_entry_point_offsets is needed in any case, even without entry
point list.
I thought that at least one decoder wanted the entry points or have we
decided that we don't? Whilst they aren't required for decode, what they
give you, if your h/w supports it, is the ability to decode multiple
lines of CTBs in parallel (with a 2 CTB offset between lines), so they
aren't useless.

If we do decided we want the entry point offset control, now or later,
then num_entry_points in the slice_param allows you to determine which
offsets apply to which slices without the complexity of a variable array
of variable arrays.

But whether or not we end up supporting entry point offsets, the Pi h/w
requires me to generate 1 table entry for each CTB line and
num_entry_points is the parameter I need for that, so I really want it
in the slice_params.

I'm adding a control (dynamic array) and num_entry_points field in slice
parameters in the next version.

4. fortunately, not setting entry points doesn't impact decoding
correctness.
This is in line what John told me about them.

Hans, can you comment points 1-3? I might misunderstand point 1.

In short, it seems like we don't really need entry points, even if they are
used in BSP library. In both cases, I got fluster score 119/138 (10-bit
excluded), so we can just drop this patch, although I'm a bit uneasy not
setting entry points...

Best regards,
Jernej

Additionally, it would be nice if control is initialized, like so:
