Is returning -EINVAL > acceptable in that case ? I don't think the bus *should* really make a difference. The driver has supported s_frame_interval in the past and drop that support completely likely would cause issues. Although --- if in this case supporting s_frame_interval just for parallel really helps keeping the driver somehow sane and doesn't break anything, I have no objections. -EINVAL works for me. -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus
