As per the docs link, raw sensors will be using the HBLANK and VBLANK
controls, not VIDIOC_S_PARM.
I don't know whether the GStreamer folks wish to add support to
v4l2src to set those - libcamerasrc is going to be the more normal
user of these sensors, but that generally means needing an ISP of some
form. With just v4l2src you've got no AE / AGC control loops, so it is
only of use in controlled lighting conditions.

I don't know the full details of the imx8 range, but believe the
libcamera folk were working with one of the imx8 platforms.

The sensor has an external clock signal (XVCLK) which can be between 6
and 27MHz. The driver only supports 24MHz. Is your module using a
24MHz clock?

IMHO This isn't clear in the docs.
My understanding is that controls shouldn't change value when changing
modes unless the new mode requires updating the range for the control
such that the current value is invalid. This does mean that the
framerate will change if you change modes without reprogramming, but
what heuristics should be used if you did update it? Options:
1) retain the current frame rate by recomputing VBLANK, but there will
be conditions where you can't achieve the same frame rate in all
modes.
2) reset to a default frame rate, but how do you define that? Do you
have to detect change of mode vs just calling S_FMT with the same
mode?
3) adjust the limits but otherwise leave the control alone.
4) as 3, but update the default value to reflect some standard
framerate (but how do you define that standard?)

Different sensors are currently doing different things, so the only
approach you can really take is for userspace to set the controls
explicitly after setting a mode.
Sakari will normally point to the CCS driver as a model for raw
sensors, and that appears to adopt option 3. There was a thread with
Jacopo recently over this same subject, but no resolution. I think it
was on the ar0521 patchset.

Clean boot and testing in this order:
- 1280x720 Y10P 63.05fps
- 1280x800 Y10P 60.28fps
- 640x400 Y10P 77.22fps
Reboot so that the HBLANK change is reset
- 1280x720 GREY 75.65fps
- 1280x800 GREY 72.33fps
- 640x400 GREY 92.67fps.

I don't believe your GREY 640x400 number as it's the same as your
640x400 Y10 value, but all your other values except 1280x800 Y10
differ from mine by a factor of 1.0507. (1280x800 Y10 is x1.099).
I'd suggest measuring your XVCLK clock signal with an oscilloscope or
frequency counter as I suspect it isn't 24MHz. 22.8MHz would give
these results, but is a slightly strange frequency if from a dedicated
oscillator rather than a PLL.
Adding support for additional XVCLK frequencies isn't a huge task, but
involves computing the internal PLL settings. My datasheet only gives
settings for 24MHz, so it'd be back to the basic principles of PLL
config to do it.
