This patch aims to add framerate support to libcamerasrc in the 
direction gstreamer->libcamera.

Add a field of the type ControlList to GstLibcameraSrcState.
Get the framerate from the caps and convert it to FrameDuration.
Set the FrameDurationLimits control in the initControls_ and pass
the initControls_ at the time of starting camera.

Tested the patch with 3 different framerates with the help of the
fpsdisplaysink element.

Hi Rishikesh,

Thank you for the patch.

Regarding the subject, you should have mentioend [RFC] as you mentioned 
you are still working on it and could've mention the missing pieces below.

Great results, happy to see. Also you could've mentioned the platform on 
which you tested.
In this case RPi 4 + OV5647

I think if the user input is malformed, get_fraction() will return a 
FALSE. We should check that for invalid input and log errors.

Can it happen that only the numerator is mentioned? Have you tested 
something like : "framerate=30"  instead of "framerate=30/1"
> +

Since frame_duration is int64_t, and fps_d and fps_n are both integers, 
can we do:

             int64_t frame_duration = (fps_d * 1000000) / fps_n; ?
> +	controls.set(controls::FrameDurationLimits,

you could then drop the cast from here  I believe

nit: To be pedantic, we are only parsing controls needed at 
camera::StarT(); so maybe

I tested for the case "framerate=30". We cannot accept (int)30 for the
framerate field that
is supposed to be a fraction. Passing 30 fails the negotiation as
gst_pad_peer_query_caps()
returns empty caps here.
g_autoptr(GstCaps) caps = gst_pad_peer_query_caps(srcpad, filter);

if (gst_caps_is_empty(caps)) {
flow_ret = GST_FLOW_NOT_NEGOTIATED;
break;
}

Yes, this will make more sense.

we also need to check the frame_duration whether it is in-bound to the 
max / min frame-duration supported by the camera itself.

If it's lower than the minimum, we should set the frame_duration to minimum
If it's larger than the maximum, we should set the frame duration to 
maximum.

We need to do this on the libcamerasrc side, since passing initCtrls_ at 
camera::start() doesn't tell us if the controls have been applied
to the camera successfully or not (or they have adjusted in some 
fashion). Until that is introduced in camera::start() API, we need
to carry out such handling on the application side.
