I believe parallel camera - such as ov5642 - connected to Kingfisher's parallel interface still has to 
be controlled over v4l operations on vin device. And, to control frame rate of such cameras [which is 
the usecase we have here at Cogent], the operations that this patch adds are requied.

Preparing v2 now.
