[PATCH 09/13] media: imx355: Remove redundant fll_min, and implement fixed offset

From: Dave Stevenson

Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 14:30:04 EST


fll_min (Frame Length Lines) is set to the same value as fll_def
for all modes, which makes it redundant.

The actual value is also erroneous as sensor works in all the
defined modes with FLL set at the mode height + 20 lines, so
set the vblank control minimum to 20 rather than varying it.
This also improves the maximum frame rate achievable.
