There are two ways to set the frame interval, either explicitly through the 
s_frame_interval operation, or implicitly through control of the pixel clock, 
horizontal blanking and vertical blanking (which in turn can be influenced by 
the exposure time).

Having two ways to perform the same operation seems sub-optimal to me, but I 
could understand if they covered different use cases. As far as I know we 
don't document the use cases for those methods. What's your opinion on that ?
