Re: [PATCH v2] [media] v4l: add I / P frame min max QP definitions

From: Fish Lin

Hi Hans,

For I frame min QP, if global min QP is set, the QP choose algorithm
should meet both of them, hence QP will >=
max(V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_I_FRAME_MIN_QP,
V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_MIN_QP).
And this is also the same to the P frame and max QP.
I can add some description to describe this behavior in the document.

Thanks,
Fish
