The zr364xx driver seems to return the wrong min/max image size
restrictions. I set the mode to 2 (=640x480), and it does give me
an image of that size. But when it's asked what sizes it can produce, it
will tell it can only do 320x240.
The webcam program I'm using will ask if my desired resolution is in the
camera's possible range and abort if it's not, then request the driver to
set my values and overwrite them by reading the current settings of the
camera. Therefore I have to request 320x240 to get images sized 640x480.
$ cat /sys/module/zr364xx/parameters/mode

Here is the code snippet trying to set the resolution:
