You shouldn't make assumptions on the rest of the pipeline beyond the
device that's directly connected. You might not even have a camera there.

Could you add the second sink pad now, so that the uAPI remains the same
when you add support for it? Nothing is connected to it but I don't think
it's an issue.

If the functions return different error codes, then ret possibly won't be a
valid error code, or at least it's not going to be what it was intended to
do. You'll need to stop when you encounter an error and then return it to
the caller.

By setting one of the fields in a struct in declaration, the rest will be
zeroed by the compiler. That's from the C standard.
