We've had lots of devices capable of doing this sort of resolution change, but never yet come up with a reason to do so for the sysfs interfaces on the basis the overhead of the sysfs interfaces is high enough the best bet is almost always to use the highest available resolution and don't worry that the read takes a little longer.
