Something is still wrong: the frame period calculation is fine for
input 0 (webcam), but if I switch to another input (S-Video/TV/HDMI),
then it is totally wrong: for input 3 (HDMI) the fps seems to be off
by a factor of 10000 (i.e. I see a framerate of over 60000 where I
expected to see 60 Hz), and for inputs 2 and 3 I get 7000 fps for
PAL and 110000 for NTSC.

v4l2-ctl -P (== VIDIOC_G_PARM) returns the right thing here.

This calculation is the problem:

u64 f_period = dev->timeperframe_vid_cap.numerator * 1000000000 /
dev->timeperframe_vid_cap.denominator;

You need to cast dev->timeperframe_vid_cap.numerator to a u64
first otherwise the multiplication overflows the u32 if numerator is > 4.

Also note that you cannot divide 64 bit values: not all architectures
support that. Use do_div instead.

With that change it should work.

Hans
