Subject: [PATCH 1/1] media: Documentation: Improve PIXEL_RATE control documentation
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:35:59 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414103559.1021712-1-sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Document explicitly that the PIXEL_RATE control reflects the actual
frequency at which the pixels are read in the pixel array. It is thus
orthogonal to analogue binning.

     The configuration of the frame rate is performed by selecting the desired
