Running mode and firmware binary selection
------------------------------------------
-ImgU works based on firmware, currently the ImgU firmware support run 2 pipes in
-time-sharing with single input frame data. Each pipe can run at certain mode -
-"VIDEO" or "STILL", "VIDEO" mode is commonly used for video frames capture, and
-"STILL" is used for still frame capture. However, you can also select "VIDEO" to
-capture still frames if you want to capture images with less system load and
-power. For "STILL" mode, ImgU will try to use smaller BDS factor and output
-larger bayer frame for further YUV processing than "VIDEO" mode to get high
-quality images. Besides, "STILL" mode need XNR3 to do noise reduction, hence
-"STILL" mode will need more power and memory bandwidth than "VIDEO" mode. TNR
-will be enabled in "VIDEO" mode and bypassed by "STILL" mode. ImgU is running at
-“VIDEO” mode by default, the user can use v4l2 control V4L2_CID_INTEL_IPU3_MODE
-(currently defined in drivers/staging/media/ipu3/include/intel-ipu3.h) to query
-and set the running mode. For user, there is no difference for buffer queueing
-between the "VIDEO" and "STILL" mode, mandatory input and main output node
-should be enabled and buffers need be queued, the statistics and the view-finder
