Hi Sakari,

i.MX does need the ability to negotiate the frame rates in the
pipelines. The CSI has the ability to skip frames at the output,
which is something Philipp added to the CSI subdev. That affects
frame interval at the CSI output.

But as Russell pointed out, the lack of [gs]_frame_interval op
causes media-ctl to fail:

media-ctl -v -d /dev/media1 --set-v4l2 
'"imx6-mipi-csi2":1[fmt:SGBRG8/512x512@...0]'

Opening media device /dev/media1
Enumerating entities
Found 29 entities
Enumerating pads and links
Setting up format SGBRG8 512x512 on pad imx6-mipi-csi2/1
Format set: SGBRG8 512x512
Setting up frame interval 1/30 on entity imx6-mipi-csi2
Unable to set frame interval: Inappropriate ioctl for device (-25)Unable 
to setup formats: Inappropriate ioctl for device (25)


So i.MX needs to implement this op in every subdev in the
pipeline, otherwise it's not possible to configure the
pipeline with media-ctl.
