What really puzzles me is that the uvcvideo code fails as well, and even
before the sound driver bails out. If you wouldn't have bisected the
problem, I would clearly blame some other change for that.

It seems something confuses the device quite badly so requests to it
return -EPROTO. From a quick grep, this error can only be originated
from low-level EHCI functions.

I need to ponder on that a little ...
