  Create controls for Nuvoton NPCM video driver to support setting
capture mode of Video Capture/Differentiation (VCD) engine and getting
the count of HEXTILE rectangles that is compressed by Encoding
Compression Engine (ECE).

+NPCM video driver
+=================
+
+This driver is used to control the Video Capture/Differentiation (VCD) engine
+and Encoding Compression Engine (ECE) present on Nuvoton NPCM SoCs. The VCD can
+capture and differentiate video data from digital or analog sources, then the
+ECE will compress the data into HEXTILE format.
+
+Driver-specific Controls
+------------------------
+
+V4L2_CID_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The VCD engine supports two modes:
+
+- COMPLETE mode:
+
+  Capture the next complete frame into memory.
+
+- DIFF mode:
+
+  Compare the incoming frame with the frame stored in memory, and updates the
+  differentiated frame in memory.
+
+Application can use ``V4L2_CID_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE`` control to set the VCD mode
+with different control values (enum v4l2_npcm_capture_mode):
+
+- ``V4L2_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE_COMPLETE``: will set VCD to COMPLETE mode.
+- ``V4L2_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE_DIFF``: will set VCD to DIFF mode.
+
+V4L2_CID_NPCM_RECT_COUNT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+After frame data is captured, the ECE will compress the data into HEXTILE format
+and store these HEXTILE rectangles data in V4L2 video buffer with the layout
+defined in Remote Framebuffer Protocol:
+::
+
+           (RFC 6143, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6143.html#section-7.6.1)
+
+           +--------------+--------------+-------------------+
+           | No. of bytes | Type [Value] | Description       |
+           +--------------+--------------+-------------------+
+           | 2            | U16          | x-position        |
+           | 2            | U16          | y-position        |
+           | 2            | U16          | width             |
+           | 2            | U16          | height            |
+           | 4            | S32          | encoding-type (5) |
+           +--------------+--------------+-------------------+
+           |             HEXTILE rectangle data              |
+           +-------------------------------------------------+
+
+Application can get these video buffers through V4L2 interfaces and use
+``V4L2_CID_NPCM_RECT_COUNT`` control to get the count of compressed HEXTILE
+rectangles that can be put in the field number-of-rectangles of
+FramebufferUpdate header.
