With your changes, HEVC uAPI controls still won't be complete. Cedrus needs 
entry point control, which in turn needs dynamic array support. I'm a bit lazy 
implementing that control, but I guess I can take a look in a month or so. 
rkvdec also needs more fields for HEVC. With patches collected here:
https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/projects/Rockchip/
patches/linux/default/linux-2001-v4l-wip-rkvdec-hevc.patch
fluster HEVC test score is reportedly 121/135 (8-bit tests only).

I would certainly wait with moving HEVC uAPI to stable.

Best regards,
Jernej
