Most systems have a "clinfo" program which will list all the queryable properties of the available devices.

I've added documentation for the opencl device as an option to -init_hw_device in <http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=37c57df18e7c46436fa791abf40f4c3031ab56f4>.

>From docs:

-init_hw_device type[=name][:device[,key=value...]]
    Initialise a new hardware device of type type called name, using the given device parameters. If no name is specified it will receive a default name of the form "type%d". 

-filter_hw_device name
    Pass the hardware device called name to all filters in any filter graph.

So, either give it a name explicitly or deduce what the name will be:

-init_hw_device opencl=arbitrary_name:1.0 -filter_hw_device arbitrary_name

or

-init_hw_device opencl:1.0 -filter_hw_device opencl0

(There is some thought of adding an option -opencl_device working like -vaapi_device to avoid the two steps for simple upload.  The most useful cases all use device derivation/mapping to keep things on the GPU side, though, so I'm not entirely sure whether it's actually wanted.)
