This series adds support for multi-slice encoding in the Qualcomm Iris
driver.

Multi-slice mode allows encoding a single frame into multiple slices,
which can improve error resilience and enable parallel processing.
The feature supports two slice modes:
- MAX_MB mode: slices are created based on macroblock count, controlled
  via V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MULTI_SLICE_MAX_MB
- MAX_BYTES mode: slices are created based on byte size, controlled via
  V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MULTI_SLICE_MAX_BYTES

Clients can enable slice mode using the V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MULTI_SLICE_MODE
control.

Patch 1 is a prerequisite fix: iris_set_stage() computes a work_mode
but never caches it back into inst->fw_caps[STAGE].value, leaving
buffer-size and clock-frequency calculations based on a stale value.

Patch 2 is another prerequisite fix: iris_set_stage() currently always
selects STAGE_2 work mode for encoder sessions, but CBR rate control
requires STAGE_1. This is fixed by forcing STAGE_1 when BITRATE_MODE is
set to CBR.

Patch 3 adds the multi-slice support itself for Iris HFI Gen2 based
targets (qcs8300, sm8550 and other SM8550-derived targets).
Support for HFI Gen1 targets will be added in a follow-up series.

This series has been verified with GST level testing.
Command used:
gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! video/x-raw,format=NV12, \
width=1280,height=720,framerate=30/1 ! v4l2h264enc output-io-mode=4 |
capture-io-mode=4 extra-controls="controls,video_bitrate_mode=1, \
slice_partitioning_method=1,number_of_mbs_in_a_slice=460;" \
! filesink location=/opt/test_enc.h264

Changes in v7:
- Moved slice_caps_vpu3x from a static const in iris_platform_vpu3x.c
  to a real definition in iris_hfi_gen2.c, extern-declared in
  iris_platform_common.h (same pattern as iris_hfi_gen2_data), so it
  no longer has to sit between #include lines to satisfy ordering.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260724-iris_multi_slice-v6-0-a99d160cb42a@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v6:
- Reordered local variable declarations in iris_set_slice_count() to
  follow reverse Christmas tree style.
- Renamed default_slice_caps_vpu3x to slice_caps_vpu3x.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260724-iris_multi_slice-v5-0-4fb593d29b44@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v5:
- Fixed unbounded slice count under RC_OFF in iris_set_slice_count()
  for the MAX_BYTES use case.
- Addressed remaining coding-style review comments.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260723-iris_multi_slice-v4-0-45f0a3fe7fce@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v4:
- Split out a new prerequisite patch (patch 1) to cache the computed
  work_mode into inst->fw_caps[STAGE].value in iris_set_stage(), since
  this fixes a pre-existing bug independent of the CBR change and
  needed its own Fixes tag.
- Deduplicated the per-target slice capability limits that were
  previously repeated identically across platform_inst_cap_qcs8300 and
  platform_inst_cap_sm8550. Introduced struct platform_inst_slice_caps
  and moved it to iris_platform_data (one level up from
  platform_inst_caps), since all Iris HFI Gen2 targets share the same
  encoder capability table and hence the same slice limits; a single
  default_slice_caps_vpu3x instance is now referenced by all Gen2
  platforms.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260721-iris_multi_slice-v3-0-adc61a687e7e@oss.qualcomm.com

Changes in v3:
- Patch 1 (force stage 1 work mode for CBR RC): cache the computed
  work_mode into inst->fw_caps[STAGE].value so buffer-size and
  clock-frequency calculations stay consistent with what is actually
  configured on firmware.
- Patch 2 (multi-slice support):
  - Use inst->hfi_rc_type instead of the raw V4L2 BITRATE_MODE value
    when validating/deriving slice parameters, avoiding a mismatch
    between V4L2 and firmware rate-control enums.
  - Round up (instead of truncate) when computing the minimum
    MAX_MB and MAX_BYTES slice size floors, so the hardware's
    max-slices-per-frame limit is never exceeded.

Changes in v2:
- Added a prerequisite patch to force STAGE_1 work mode for CBR rate
  control on the encoder, required for multi-slice encoding to work
  correctly.
- Addressed review comments on the multi-slice patch (updated commit
  subject and description).
