According to the Initialization section of the V4L2 stateless
documentation a client is supposed to S_CTRL(SPS) after S_FMT(OUTPUT).

https://docs.kernel.org/userspace-api/media/v4l/dev-stateless-decoder.html#initialization

I guess that all stateless decoders probably should reset all ctrls to
default value on S_FMT(OUTPUT) or decoders may end up in an unexpected
state?

Is resetting a ctrl value back to default something that is supported by
v4l2 ctrl core? Did not find any obvious way to reset a ctrl value.

Will probably just drop this patch in v5.
