So how should this be used? The spec does not define any way to set profile for 
the device. It is very important for encoder.

Also, shouldn't the profile come together with level? Would make sense for 
encoders.

I'd guess frame rates depend on the resolution as well. This dependency was 
clear in the v1 spec, but in the v2 there is no dependency anymore. I think we 
need to update this.
