Yes, we meet that the frame data corruption for some high data rate camera sensors like
imx258 (13M@30fps) with current watermark settings. The higher watermark potentially has
power concern as it  request DMA transfer more than before.

To keep the old settings for low data rate camera sensor, I am thinking the rationality
to determine the HWM value based on the link_frequency? Apparently, it is not reliable
to determine by the format.
