[PATCH v9 09/13] media: uapi: Add a control for HANTRO driver

The HEVC HANTRO driver needs to know the number of bits to skip at
the beginning of the slice header.
That is a hardware specific requirement so create a dedicated control
for this purpose.

version 9:
 - Corrections in commit message.
 - Move control definition in hevc-ctrls.h
 - Add note in documentation to explain that this control
   may change in the futur

version 5:
 - Be even more verbose in control documentation.
 - Do not create class for the control.
version 4:
- The control is now an integer which is enough to provide the numbers
  of bits to skip.
version 3:
- Fix typo in field name

+Hantro video decoder driver
+===========================
+
+The Hantro video decoder driver implements the following driver-specific controls:
+
+``V4L2_CID_HANTRO_HEVC_SLICE_HEADER_SKIP (integer)``
+    Specifies to Hantro HEVC video decoder driver the number of data (in bits) to
+    skip in the slice segment header.
+    If non-IDR, the bits to be skipped go from syntax element "pic_output_flag"
+    to before syntax element "slice_temporal_mvp_enabled_flag".
+    If IDR, the skipped bits are just "pic_output_flag"
+    (separate_colour_plane_flag is not supported).
+
+.. note::
+
+        This control is not yet part of the public kernel API and
+        it is expected to change.
