Per-stream means you have it apply on all the enabled source pads, and
potentially configure cameras differently, which is not supported
because frame sync is a configuration parameter which applies to all
sources.
If I were you I would have used the single source pad, as from the
user perspective what is relevant is the max9286 produced frame rate,
but I understand the counter-argument, so up to you :)
