The venus encoder also has such a control so you can move it out of MFC
specific controls.

Also I think this control should be valid for every codec which supports
IDR, i.e. H264, so I think you could drop _HEVC_from the control name.

Do you plan to resend the patchset soon so that it could be applied for
4.14? If you haven't time let me know I can help with the generic HEVC
part of the patchset.
