I'll defer to Sakari or others on the original reasoning behind it. I
was basing imx219 on other recently merged Bayer sensor drivers.
Having individual control of HTS and VTS allows slightly finer control
of exactly how the sensor frames. It also matches with exposure time
being set in lines, therefore you need to know the time per horizontal
line to convert from units of time.
If the driver were implementing ENUM_FRAME_INTERVALS / [S|G]_PARM then
you'd still need to support HTS/VTS for exposure, so why duplicate
settings?
