The purpose of the new field is to allow the video pipeline elements to
negotiate memory buffer size for compressed data frames, where the buffer
size cannot be derived from pixel width and height and the pixel code.

For VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT and VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT ioctls, the framesamples
parameter should be calculated by the driver from pixel width, height,
color format and other parameters if required and returned to the caller.
This applies to compressed data formats only.

The application should propagate the framesamples value, whatever returned
at the first sub-device within a data pipeline, i.e. at the pipeline's data
source.

For compressed data formats the host drivers should internally validate
the framesamples parameter values before streaming is enabled, to make sure
the memory buffer size requirements are satisfied along the pipeline.

Why you do not use name sizeimage?
It is used in struct v4l2_plane_pix_format and struct v4l2_pix_format?

Should old drivers be modified to update this field?
