media: v4l2-subdev: Add which field to struct v4l2_subdev_frame_interval
Due to a historical mishap, the v4l2_subdev_frame_interval structure is the only part of the V4L2 subdev userspace API that doesn't contain a 'which' field. This prevents trying frame intervals using the subdev 'TRY' state mechanism. Adding a 'which' field is simple as the structure has 8 reserved fields. This would however break userspace as the field is currently set to 0, corresponding to V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY, while the corresponding ioctls currently operate on the 'ACTIVE' state. We thus need to add a new subdev client cap, V4L2_SUBDEV_CLIENT_CAP_INTERVAL_USES_WHICH, to indicate that userspace is aware of this new field. All drivers that implement the subdev .get_frame_interval() and .set_frame_interval() operations are updated to return -EINVAL when operating on the TRY state, preserving the current behaviour. While at it, fix a bad copy&paste in the documentation of the struct v4l2_subdev_frame_interval_enum 'which' field.
