+          The minimum and maximum (in that order) frame duration,
+          expressed in micro-seconds.
+
+          When provided by applications, the control specifies the sensor frame
+          duration interval the pipeline has to use. This limits the largest
+          exposure time the sensor can use. For example, if a maximum frame
+          duration of 33ms is requested (corresponding to 30 frames per second),
+          the sensor will not be able to raise the exposure time above 33ms.
+          A fixed frame duration is achieved by setting the minimum and maximum
+          values to be the same. Setting both values to 0 reverts to using the
+          IPA provided defaults.
+
+          The maximum frame duration provides the absolute limit to the shutter
+          speed computed by the AE algorithm and it overrides any exposure mode
+          setting specified with controls::AeExposureMode. Similarly, when a
+          manual exposure time is set through controls::ExposureTime, it also
+          gets clipped to the limits set by this control. When reported in
+          metadata, the control expresses the minimum and maximum frame
+          durations used after being clipped to these limits.
