Camera Module v2 (imx219) missing 206FPS mode #7013
Description
Describe the bug
The documentation for the camera modules lists 640×480p 206fps as a supported mode for the camera module v2 but when I use rpicam-vid --list-cameras the 206FPS mode is not available, replaced with 103FPS instead:

3280x2464 [21.19 fps - (0, 0)/3280x2464 crop]I found this bug report #5438 that was resolved around the time of the 6.1 kernel. So I built that version and booted into it. With that kernel version the 206FPS mode was listed:

Steps to reproduce the behaviour
boot into the latest Raspberry Pi OS with kernel 6.12, plug in a Camera v2 module and run rpicam-vid --list-cameras. Observe that the 206FPS mode is not listed.
