It seems like today it only supports integer frame rates, or at least
timeperframe is not used anywhere in the code, this is why I
implemented the change.
In other words, when the driver was returning a fractional it was lying (a bit).
I do not have the hardware to test this, the best thing I can offer is
to remove this patch from the set and rebase the code.
My main concern is to fix the "division errors" from the static analyzer :)
