Since this control has only two possible values, that would mean that, if this control
is present, then REFRESH_MB is always ignored.
It seems to me that you need a third option here that specifically selects the REFRESH_MB
method.
Also, this needs to be documented as well in REFRESH_MB (i.e. it is ignored if this TYPE
control is present and is set to something other than REFRESH_MB).

I think you should add _TYPE after REFRESH in these names to clearly specify
that this is setting the refresh *type*.

Hi Hans,
I don't think we need to add that as the third option in this control.
So, there are two ways to set intra refresh to driver, it can be either
MB based or Frame-based.
Currently, we have two v4l2 controls in place
1. V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_CYCLIC_INTRA_REFRESH_MB -> this is MB based and
only applicable for cyclic
2. V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD -> this is frame based and
has no type associated to it
and it is up to the driver to decide the type i.e Random or Cyclic.
with this new control V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_INTRA_REFRESH_TYPE, we are
introducing
a way for the client to set the type of intra refresh, either cyclic or
random.
Thanks,
Dikshita

Ah, right. But then it really is a naming issue that causes the confusion.
It would all be clear if you name this control V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD_TYPE
and the enums V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD_TYPE_RANDOM and
V4L2_MPEG_VIDEO_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD_TYPE_CYCLIC.
Yes, I know, the names are quite long, but there are so many codec controls that
being descriptive is more important than being concise.
With these new names it is clear that this type control only relates to the
refresh period and not to the refresh MB.
You should also document that if this type control is not present, then it is
undefined what refresh period type is used (or something along those lines).
