If your only goal is to configure frame dropping on a sub-device, I suggest
to implement s_frame_interval() on the pads of that sub-device only. The
frames are then dropped according to the configured frame rates between the
sink and source pads. Say, configuring sink for 1/30 s and source 1/15 would
drop half of the incoming frames.
Considering that supporting specific frame interval on most sub-devices adds
no value or is not the interface through which it the frame rate configured,
I think it is overkill to change the link validation to expect otherwise.
