[PATCH RFC 09/12] media: rockchip: rkvenc: Limit the QP of the HEVC I pictures to 15..51

From: Arun Iyengar <aiyengar1990 at gmail.com>

As the Rockchip MPP library does by default for HEVC, keep the I pictures
of the frame rate control at QP 15 or above, while the P pictures may go
down to 10: add the I picture QP limit controls, with the defaults 15 and
51. The hardware row rate control of an I picture gets the same limits.

Move the QP setup of the picture to a function of its own.
