Well, atm, I don't think I have a specific case right now, but I think, it 
can well be the case, that not all frame sizes are always usable in the 
driver, depending on other circumstances. E.g., depending on the pixel / 
fourcc code. So, in this case the driver just provides a probe method to 
filter out inapplicable sizes.
