For my sensor, any frame interval is also possible, but that isn't the
point here.
/dev/video* only talks to the CSI source pad, not it's sink pad. The
sink pad gets configured with the sensor frame rate via the media
controller API. /dev/video* itself has no control over the sensor
frame rate.
The media controller stuff completely changes the way the established
/dev/video* functionality works - the ability to select arbitary frame
sizes and frame rates supported by the ultimate sensor is gone. All
that needs to be setup through the media controller pipeline, one
subdev at a time.
