[media] v4l: v4l2_subdev userspace frame interval API
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>For the common use case of image sensors, the frame intervals

+ &v4l2-subdev-frame-interval-enum; and call the
+ <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL</constant> ioctl with a pointer
+ to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return
+ an &EINVAL; if one of the input fields is invalid. All frame intervals are
+ enumerable by beginning at index zero and incrementing by one until
+ <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode> is returned.</para>
+
+ <para>Available frame intervals may depend on the current 'try' formats
