I think 1 is set as the step value here, keeping the minimum equal to
default HTS - width (to be safe, as I presume the HTS values for a mode
come from the sensor manufacturer)

IIUC ov5647_write16 sends two bytes of data over I2C, where it auto
increments the address when writing the second byte.

Oops, you're right, I'll drop this in the cleanup commit for PIXEL_RATE
control.

Nice, will do!
