kPix/s or kPixel/s ?

Is it really a clock ?

Does that mean that userspace isn't required to propagate the value down the 
pipeline when configuring it ? I'm fine with that, but it should probably be 
documented explictly somewhere to make sure that drivers don't rely on it.

I think you forgot to update the comment.
