Why static ?
Also clk_get_rate() returns an unsigned long

Empty line maybe ?

I'm sorry I have not replied to your previous email about using
LINK_FREQ for parallel busses.. I see it mentioned in ext-ctrls-image-process.rst
as you said:

``V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ (integer menu)``
    The frequency of the data bus (e.g. parallel or CSI-2).

I still have a bit of troubles seeing it apply nicely on a parallel
bus. Isn't PIXEL_RATE more appropriate ? You said you need to know the
overall bus bandwidth in bytes , and pixel_rate * bpp / 8 is equally
valid and easy as link_freq / num_lanes, which requires the receiver
to fetch the remote subdev media bus configuration instead of relying
on the input format. Also LINK_FREQ is a menu control, something nasty
already for CSI-2 busses, which requires to pre-calculate the link
freqs based on the input mclk. It is also meant to be changed by
userspace, while PIXEL_RATE is RO by default.

Sakari, Laurent, what's your take here ?
