Hi Jack, the ov5640 native 5MP (2592x1944) mode is only available at 15 fps, but
the default framerate is 30. So to allow the 5MP mode, set to 15 fps beforehand
with a call to vidioc_s_parm.

Yes, the v2 branch is the WIP I mentioned above. Making good progress and
hope to have a patchset to post in a few days.
