Hi Laurent,

Thanks for the review.

It's a single funcition but it's being used from two locations in it. I
would keep it as-is, since performing the same in the function itself would
much complicate it.

Fixed.

I re-use graph, and tmp is called entity_err now.

Yup.

Link validation
---------------

Link validation is performed from media_entity_pipeline_start() for any
entity which has sink pads in the pipeline. The
media_entity::link_validate() callback is used for that purpose. In
link_validate() callback, the entity driver should check that the properties
of the source pad of the connected entity and its own sink pad match.

Added a note it may return an error.
