Hi Angelo,

Thank you for the detailed explanation :)
However, I can't make it work because in my case, seninf is connected
to an external ISP
so pad->entity->function == MEDIA_ENT_F_PROC_VIDEO_ISP.

How can I get the pad corresponding to the sensor?

Is this mandatory to implement V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE ?
Should I return an error if not found?

How to know the sensor clock given link_frequency and pixel_clock?
Can you point me to drivers doing something similar?
