I'm confused. Isn't this the same as V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_CYCLIC_INTRA_REFRESH_MB?
Except that here you don't give the number of macroblocks but instead the number
of frames it will take to fully refresh a frame and leave it to the driver to
calculate the number of macroblocks?

If I am right, then you need to clearly document the relationship between the
two controls, and what happens if you set them both.

It seems the venus driver already supports V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_CYCLIC_INTRA_REFRESH_MB,
so why add this control as well?

Yes, correct. The periodic control looks more generic because it doesn't
limit the type of intra-refresh (cyclic vs random vs adaptive) but
instead set the number of frames to fully refresh the whole frame and is
also taken from Android mediacodec [1], where the user doesn't care too
much what intra-refresh type will be used but instead how much frames
are needed to fully refresh.

Yep, I can add such description.

One note here; the CYCLIC_INTRA_REFRESH_MB and INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD are
not interchangeable because intra-refresh period could use different
type of inter-refresh, eg. random vs cyclic.

The cyclic intra-refresh control in Venus driver is just enumerable but
ignored when set, in other words it does nothing.
