[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 2/3] android: camera_device: Fail template on no FPS range

The camera supported FPS range is crucial to distinguish between
capture templates for preview and video recording. If the pipeline
handler did not specify an available FPS range by registering the
controls::FrameDurations property so far the control was simply not
added to the generated capture template.

In order to prepare to generate templates for video recording which
require a fixed FPS range, fail earlier in generating any template at
all if the available FPS range is not provided by the Camera.
