Thanks for confirming.

I don't mind which - I could change this to:

	else if (err_fi != -ENOTTY && err_fi != -EINVAL)

Or an alternative would be to print an error (ignoring ENOTTY and EINVAL)
to stderr at the "v4l2_subdev_get_frame_interval" callsite and continue
on (ensuring that interval is zeroed).
