[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 1/3] libcamera: controls: Add frame duration control

[Naushir Patuck]

Add a float array control (controls::FrameDurations) to specify the
minimum and maximum (in that order) frame duration to be used by the
camera sensor.

+        frame duration limits depending on its mode configuration.
