I thought the datasheet used HTS, my bad. Now that you mention it, HTS
is indeed more of an OmniVision term. Sorry for the oversight.

I would then name the macro IMX219_REG_LINE_LENGTH, and rename
IMX219_REG_VTS to IMX219_REG_FRM_LENGTH.

I would at least handle hblank and vblank the same way. If we expect the
values to be updated, a comment to indicate so would be good. The
current code states

	/* Initial vblank/hblank/exposure parameters based on current mode */

Or prev_line_length. I agree that hts isn't a good name here.
