This subdev doesn't seem to report formats on its sink and source pads,
which is weird. I've had a quick look at the .get_fmt() and .set_fmt()
implementations in the code you've posted, and they're wrong. They
shouldn't pass the calls to the source subdev with v4l2_subdev_call(),
they should instead implement get and set format on this subdev. You can
look at the imx7-mipi-csis driver to see how that's done. Once you'll
have fixed this, you'll have to set the format on each pad with
media-ctl to make sure formats through the pipeline match.

The only location where you imx8mq-mipi-csis driver should use
v4l2_subdev_call() is in .s_stream(), to propagate the operation to the
source.

By the way, I'd replace every occurence of "csis" with "csi2" in your
driver. The name "csis" in the i.MX7 driver comes from the CSI-2 RX IP
core that is named CSIS. That's not the case on the i.MX8QM.

You need to enable this link, the following should do

media-ctl -l "'hi846 2-0020':0 -> 'imx8mq-mipi-csis.0':0 [1]"

There's a combination of kernel-side issues (as detailed above) and
userspace issues (also as detailed above :-)).

It's not dumb at all.
