According to the documentation [1], you are doing the right thing:

    The struct v4l2_subdev_frame_interval pad references a non-existing
    pad, or the pad doesn’t support frame intervals.

But v4l2_subdev_call returns -ENOIOCTLCMD if the g_frame_interval op is
not implemented at all, which is turned into -ENOTTY by video_usercopy.

Not supporting frame intervals doesn't warrant a visible error message,
I think -EINVAL should also be ignored above, if the spec is to be
believed.

Or here.
