+This ioctl allows applications to access the enumeration of frame sizes
+supported by a sub-device on the specified pad
+for the specified media bus format.
+Supported formats can be retrieved with the
:ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE`
ioctl.
-To enumerate frame sizes applications initialize the ``pad``, ``which``
-, ``code`` and ``index`` fields of the struct
-:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_mbus_code_enum` and
-call the :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_SIZE` ioctl with a pointer to the

-EINVAL error code if one of the input parameters is invalid.
+The enumerations are defined by the driver, and indexed using the ``index`` field
+of the struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_frame_size_enum`.
+Each pair of ``pad`` and ``code`` correspond to a separate enumeration.
+Each enumeration starts with the ``index`` of 0, and
+the lowest invalid index marks the end of the enumeration.
+
+Therefore, to enumerate frame sizes allowed on the specified pad
+and using the specified mbus format, initialize the
+``pad``, ``which``, and ``code`` fields to desired values,
+and set ``index`` to 0.
+Then call the :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_SIZE` ioctl with a pointer to the
+structure.
+
+A successful call will return with minimum and maximum frame sizes filled in.
+Repeat with increasing ``index`` until ``EINVAL`` is received.
+``EINVAL`` means that either no more entries are available in the enumeration,
+or that an input parameter was invalid.
Sub-devices that only support discrete frame sizes (such as most
sensors) will return one or more frame sizes with identical minimum and
