Further these ioctls can be used to determine the number of buffers used
internally by a driver in read/write mode. For implications see the
section discussing the :ref:`read() <func-read>` function.

Sub-devices that support the frame interval ioctls should implement them
on a single pad only. Their behaviour when supported on multiple pads of
the same sub-device is not defined.
