From: Lad, Prabhakar <prabhakar.lad@ti.com>

add V4L2_CID_DPCM_PREDICTOR control of type menu, which
determines the dpcm predictor. The predictor can be either
simple or advanced.

This patches has one checkpatch warning for line over
80 characters altough it can be avoided I have kept it
for consistency.

Changes for v3:
1: Added better explanation for DPCM, pointed by Hans.

Changes for v2:
1: Added documentaion in controls.xml pointed by Sylwester.
2: Chnaged V4L2_DPCM_PREDICTOR_ADVANCE to V4L2_DPCM_PREDICTOR_ADVANCED
   pointed by Sakari.

+	    <entry spanname="descr"> Differential pulse-code modulation (DPCM) is a signal
+	    encoder that uses the baseline of pulse-code modulation (PCM) but adds some
+	    functionalities based on the prediction of the samples of the signal. The input
+	    can be an analog signal or a digital signal.
+
+	    <para>If the input is a continuous-time
+	    analog signal, it needs to be sampled first so that a discrete-time signal is
+	    the input to the DPCM encoder.</para>
+
+	    <para>Simple: take the values of two
+	    consecutive samples; if they are analog samples, quantize them; calculate the
+	    difference between the first one and the next; the output is the difference, and
+	    it can be further entropy coded.</para>
+
+	    <para>Advanced: instead of taking a difference relative to a previous input sample,
+	    take the difference relative to the output of a local model of the decoder process;
+	    in this option, the difference can be quantized, which allows a good way to
+	    incorporate a controlled loss in the encoding.</para>
+
+	    <para>Applying one of these two processes, short-term redundancy (positive correlation of
+	    nearby values) of the signal is eliminated; compression ratios on the order of 2 to 4
+	    can be achieved if differences are subsequently entropy coded, because the entropy of
+	    the difference signal is much smaller than that of the original discrete signal treated
+	    as independent samples.For more information about DPCM see <ulink
+	    url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulse-code_modulation">Wikipedia</ulink>.</para>
