Yes, the comments for each of the modes (eg "/* 8MPix 15fps mode */")
probably shouldn't have the frame rate in them. I don't see any other
references. Those frame rates are the defaults only, as set via eg
IMX219_VTS_15FPS.

I originally wrote the driver without frame rate control, and the
comments obviously didn't get updated when VTS/HTS support was added
:-/
