There is no limit on the maximum level of the bit rate with
the existing VBR rate control.
V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE_MBR rate control will limit the
frame maximum bit rate range to the +/- 10% of the configured
bit-rate value. Encoder will choose appropriate quantization
parameter and do the smart bit allocation to set the frame
maximum bitrate level.

So, only sdm845/sc7180 and friends support it, but the newer
SoCs (like 8250 don't)?

Is this okay, since you're claiming only v4 supports it?
