The three new ioctl VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FRAME_INTERVAL and VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FRAME_INTERVAL can be used to enumerate and configure a subdev's frame rate from userspace. Two new video::g/s_frame_interval subdev operations are introduced to support those ioctls. The existing video::g/s_parm operations are deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore.

<para>These ioctls are used to get and set the frame interval at specific
|
|
subdev pads in the image pipeline. The frame interval only makes sense for
|
|
sub-devices that can control the frame period on their own. This includes,
|
|
for instance, image sensors and TV tuners. Sub-devices that don't support
|
|
frame intervals must not implement these ioctls.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To retrieve the current frame interval applications set the
|
|
<structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-frame-interval; to
|
|
the desired pad number as reported by the media controller API. When they
|
|
call the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> ioctl with a
|
|
pointer to this structure the driver fills the members of the
|
|
<structfield>interval</structfield> field.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To change the current frame interval applications set both the
|
|
<structfield>pad</structfield> field and all members of the
|
|
<structfield>interval</structfield> field. When they call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> ioctl with a pointer to
|
|
this structure the driver verifies the requested interval, adjusts it based
|
|
on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return the
|
|
&v4l2-subdev-frame-interval; contains the current frame interval as would be
|
|
returned by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> call.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested interval
|
|
doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify the interval
|
|
to match what the hardware can provide. The modified interval should be as
|
|
close as possible to the original request.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Sub-devices that support the frame interval ioctls should implement
|
|
them on a single pad only. Their behaviour when supported on multiple pads
|
|
of the same sub-device is not defined.</para>
