Comment (by corbet):

 Replying to [comment:15 dcbw]:
 > VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES is the _new_ way to figure out what frame sizes
 the camera supports.  The old way is redundant.

 Mauro (the V4L maintainer) is not entirely in agreement with that.  He is,
 however, not absolutely opposed to merging a proper implementation, so we
 could do that.

 > I think this is a different issue entirely.

 Then it's a matter of seeing what else has changed in gstreamer, since the
 driver has not really changed.  I will try to look into it when I get a
 chance.

 > And the problem with "cafe1000-ccic 0000:00:0c.2: Frame overrun on
 [012], frames lost." has _always_ been there and is a kernel driver
 problem, since it shows up from VTs.

 It's not really a "driver problem" - that message is just telling you that
 data was overwritten because nobody read it in time.  You'll see it if the
 system gets sufficiently slow that the application reading frames falls
 behind.  I could "fix" it by silently dropping the frames instead, but I
 don't think that would help a whole lot.
