From: Pawel Osciak <posciak@chromium.org>

Add the parsed VP8 frame pixel format and controls, to be used
with the new stateless decoder API for VP8 to provide parameters
for accelerator (aka stateless) codecs.

Nit: sometimes you finish your description with a final dot sometimes
not. It's probably better to make that consistent.

Don't know what the policy in V4L, but it's usually a good thing to
have structs used to exchange data with userspace aligned on 64-bits.
Maybe you can add 2 padding bytes here. Note that the compiler might
anyway add padding to align struct fields to their natural alignment in
v4l2_ctrl_vp8_frame_header, so it's probably better to have these
padding bytes explicitly defined and mandate that they be set to 0 so
we can check them and complain when they're not 0.

Maybe we should try to pack things so that the compiler does not
implicitly add extra padding bytes. That implies trying to group u8
fields by 2, 4 or 8 depending on what the next field natural alignment
is.

AFAIK, there is no such requirement. There is however the requirement
of making sure the structs layout is the same on 32 and 64 architectures [1].

This is confirmed by these [2] tests which are based in Maxime's work.

Yes, I guess it makes sense to avoid implicit padding if possible.

Note to self, this comment should be dropped and moved to the documentation.
