Subject: [PATCH 1/2] media: uapi: Add V4L2_CID_VTOTAL control

From: Benjamin Bara <benjamin.bara@...data.com>

Currently, V4L2_CID_VBLANK can be used to control the frame duration of
a stream. However, camera sensors usually have a register for the
vertical total size (image data + blanking), e.g. VMAX on the imx290.
The dependency between format height and vertical blanking results to a
change of the vertical blanking value and limits whenever the format of
the frame is changed and therefore makes it harder for user space to do
calculations, e.g. the frame duration.

V4L2_CID_VTOTAL does not depend on the format and therefore simplifies
calculations. Additionally, it represents the hardware "better" and
therefore also simplifies calculations on the driver side.
