    <para>This ioctl allows applications to enumerate all frame sizes
    supported by a sub-device on the given pad for the given media bus format.
    Supported formats can be retrieved with the &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-ENUM-MBUS-CODE;
    ioctl.</para>

    <para>To enumerate frame sizes applications initialize the
    <structfield>pad</structfield>, <structfield>code</structfield> and
    <structfield>index</structfield> fields of the
    &v4l2-subdev-mbus-code-enum; and call the
    <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_SIZE</constant> ioctl with a pointer to
    the structure. Drivers fill the minimum and maximum frame sizes or return
    an &EINVAL; if one of the input parameters is invalid.</para>

    <para>Sub-devices that only support discrete frame sizes (such as most
    sensors) will return one or more frame sizes with identical minimum and
    maximum values.</para>

    <para>Not all possible sizes in given [minimum, maximum] ranges need to be
    supported. For instance, a scaler that uses a fixed-point scaling ratio
    might not be able to produce every frame size between the minimum and
    maximum values. Applications must use the &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-S-FMT; ioctl to
    try the sub-device for an exact supported frame size.</para>

    <para>Available frame sizes may depend on the current 'try' formats at other
    pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links and the
    current values of V4L2 controls. See &VIDIOC-SUBDEV-G-FMT; for more
    information about try formats.</para>
