-
- <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>
