-    Data bus frequency. Together with the media bus pixel code, bus type
-    (clock cycles per sample), the data bus frequency defines the pixel
-    rate (``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE``) in the pixel array (or possibly
-    elsewhere, if the device is not an image sensor). The frame rate can
-    be calculated from the pixel clock, image width and height and
-    horizontal and vertical blanking. While the pixel rate control may
-    be defined elsewhere than in the subdev containing the pixel array,
-    the frame rate cannot be obtained from that information. This is
-    because only on the pixel array it can be assumed that the vertical
-    and horizontal blanking information is exact: no other blanking is
-    allowed in the pixel array. The selection of frame rate is performed
-    by selecting the desired horizontal and vertical blanking. The unit
