I actually did this fix when I produced the patch, just I forgot to fold
it when merging. Anyway, this was fixed upstream by this patch:
	https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/?id=45c175c4ae9695d6d2f30a45ab7f3866cfac184b

I don't like magic numbers, but, in this very specific case, setting
frames per second (fps) var to 25 or 30 makes much more sense. The
rationale is that:

The V4L2_STD_525_60 macro is for the Countries where the power line 
uses 60Hz, and V4L2_STD_625_50 for the Countries where the power line
is 50Hz.

The broadcast TV sends frames in half of this frequency, so, for
V4L2_STD_525_60, fps = 30, while, for V4L2_STD_625_50, fps = 25.

So, in this very specific case, IMHO, it is better to see 25 or 30 there,
instead of ARRAY_SIZE().

That's said, I guess one improvement would be to get rid of those two
arrays and replacing them by a formula, like:

               	i = (max_fps / 2 + 15 * fps) / max_fps;
                if (i > 14)
                        i = 0;

I'll propose such patch for evaluation.

Regards,
Mauro
