While working on this, I came accross Hugues Fruchet's series that also
adds similar definitions for parsed MPEG2 metadata:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9704707/

Since that version made it to a v6, I will take the time to read the
discussion and see what needs to be changed in my proposal, so that we
can avoid discussing the same points over a year later.

This will most likely not make it to the next revision of the driver
series, so I will keep the format/controls definitions in their v2 state
(despite all the useful comments received) and take the time to properly
rework things in a future revision.

Cheers,

Paul
