My understanding is that the exposure calculation in userspace is commonly based
on the unit of exposure - line, as some sensor did not support fractional
exposures, so the common calculation only care the integral part. For ov5675, it
is different from others, its register value unit is 2lines instead of lines.

Sakari, do you have some idea?
