[PATCH v4 8/9] media: hevc: Add scaling matrix control

Hi Benjamin,

I believe the scaling matrix uAPI patch(es) and the support
in Hantro G2 could be moved to its own series and maybe
merged sooner than the rest (which may need more discussion).

Couple remarks below.

If I am reading the spec correctly, we have fields in
SPS (scaling_list_enabled_flag, scaling_list_data_present_flag)
and PPS (scaling_list_data_present_flag).

We don't need all that, since all a driver needs to know
is whether a scaling list is to be applied for the current frame.
  
Would you mind adding a patch moving the flag to the PPS?

This needs some additional documentation about the order of the lists.
See the docs that we've added for the scaling_list_{} fields in
V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_SCALING_MATRIX.

Thanks!
