    <para>This ioctl lets applications enumerate available frame intervals on a
    given sub-device pad. Frame intervals only makes sense for sub-devices that
    can control the frame period on their own. This includes, for instance,
    image sensors and TV tuners.</para>

    <para>For the common use case of image sensors, the frame intervals
    available on the sub-device output pad depend on the frame format and size
    on the same pad. Applications must thus specify the desired format and size
    when enumerating frame intervals.</para>

    <para>To enumerate frame intervals applications initialize the
    <structfield>index</structfield>, <structfield>pad</structfield>,
    <structfield>which</structfield>, <structfield>code</structfield>,
    <structfield>width</structfield> and <structfield>height</structfield>
    fields of &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
    at other pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links. See
    &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-G-FMT; for more information about the try formats.</para>

    <para>Sub-devices that support the frame interval enumeration ioctl should
    implemented it on a single pad only. Its behaviour when supported on
    multiple pads of the same sub-device is not defined.</para>
