Some broken device return wrong dwMaxPayloadTransferSize fields as
follows:
[ 218.632537] uvcvideo: Device requested 2752512 B/frame bandwidth.
[ 218.632598] uvcvideo: No fast enough alt setting for requested bandwidth.
When dwMaxPayloadTransferSize is greater than maxpsize, it will prevent
the camera from starting. So use the bandwidth of maxpsize.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Based on my analysis of the commit and the surrounding code context,
here is my determination:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
1. **Fixes a real user-impacting bug**: The commit fixes a bandwidth
issue that prevents certain USB cameras (specifically Alcor cameras)
from starting. As shown in the commit message, devices can request
unrealistic bandwidth values (2752512 B/frame), which causes the "No
fast enough alt setting for requested bandwidth" error at line 2080
in uvc_video.c, preventing the camera from functioning.
2. **Small and contained fix**: The change is minimal - it adds only 8
lines of code that perform a simple bounds check. When
`dwMaxPayloadTransferSize` exceeds `stream->maxpsize`, it caps the
value to the maximum packet size. This is a defensive programming
approach that doesn't change any core functionality.
3. **Low regression risk**: The fix is conservative and only triggers
when:
- The interface has multiple alternate settings
(`stream->intf->num_altsetting > 1`)
- The requested payload size exceeds the endpoint's maximum packet
size
- It simply clamps the value rather than rejecting it, allowing the
device to work with reduced bandwidth
4. **Follows established pattern**: The code already has similar
workarounds for broken devices (e.g., the Chicony device fix at lines
226-227 that masks invalid bandwidth values). This fix follows the
same philosophy of working around non-compliant hardware.
5. **Hardware compatibility issue**: This fixes compatibility with
specific hardware (Alcor cameras) that would otherwise be completely
non-functional. Hardware compatibility fixes are typically good
candidates for stable backports as they enable users to use their
existing hardware.
6. **Clear problem and solution**: The issue is well-defined (devices
returning wrong `dwMaxPayloadTransferSize`), and the solution is
straightforward (cap to the actual maximum packet size). The warning
message also provides visibility into when this workaround is
applied.
7. **No architectural changes**: The fix doesn't introduce new features
or change the driver architecture. It's purely a workaround for non-
compliant hardware, similar to other quirks already present in the
UVC driver.
The commit meets the stable kernel criteria of fixing an important bug
(camera not working) with minimal risk and without introducing new
features or architectural changes.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's the
extensive analysis:
## Bug Analysis
The commit fixes a unit confusion bug in the vd55g1 camera sensor
driver. The macros `VD55G1_MIPI_RATE_MIN` and `VD55G1_MIPI_RATE_MAX` are
incorrectly defined using `HZ_PER_MHZ` when they should use `MEGA`:
```c
// Before (incorrect):
#define VD55G1_MIPI_RATE_MIN (250 * HZ_PER_MHZ) // 250 MHz
#define VD55G1_MIPI_RATE_MAX (1200 * HZ_PER_MHZ) // 1200 MHz
// After (correct):
#define VD55G1_MIPI_RATE_MIN (250 * MEGA) // 250 Mbps
#define VD55G1_MIPI_RATE_MAX (1200 * MEGA) // 1200 Mbps
```
Both `HZ_PER_MHZ` and `MEGA` are defined as `1000000UL` in
`/home/sasha/linux/include/linux/units.h`, so numerically they're the
same. However, semantically they represent different units:
- `HZ_PER_MHZ` is for frequency conversion (Hz)
- `MEGA` is a generic multiplier for mega units, appropriate for bit
rates (bps)
## Impact Assessment
1. **Functional Impact**: While numerically identical, this is a
semantic bug that affects code clarity and correctness. The driver
uses these macros to validate MIPI data rates:
- Lines 712-713: Range validation of `sensor->mipi_rate`
- Lines 716-717: Error messages that explicitly show rates in Mbps
using `/ MEGA`
2. **User-Facing Bug**: Yes - incorrect unit semantics could lead to
confusion when debugging or maintaining the driver. The error
messages explicitly show "MIPI rates must be in the range [%u - %u]
Mbps", proving these are bit rates, not frequencies.
3. **Regression Risk**: Minimal - since both macros have the same
numerical value, there's no functional change, only semantic
correctness.
## Stable Tree Criteria
This commit meets stable tree requirements:
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Semantic incorrectness in unit usage
2. **Small and contained**: Only changes 2 lines
3. **No side effects**: Purely a semantic fix with no functional changes
4. **No architectural changes**: Simple macro definition update
5. **Subsystem impact**: Limited to a single media driver (vd55g1)
6. **Clear fix**: The commit message clearly explains what's being fixed
The fix ensures proper semantic meaning for MIPI data rate validation,
which is important for code maintainability and prevents potential
future bugs if the macro values ever diverge.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Now I have enough information to provide a comprehensive analysis:
## Backport Status: YES
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:
### 1. Bug Fix Nature
The commit fixes a **protocol violation bug** where the hdpvr driver
passes zero-length read messages directly to `usb_control_msg()`.
Looking at line 122-123 in `hdpvr_transfer()`:
```c
retval = hdpvr_i2c_read(dev, 1, addr, NULL, 0,
msgs[0].buf, msgs[0].len);
```
When `msgs[0].len` is 0, this results in a zero-length USB control
message being sent at line 71 in `hdpvr_i2c_read()`:
```c
ret = usb_control_msg(dev->udev, usb_rcvctrlpipe(dev->udev, 0),
REQTYPE_I2C_READ, CTRL_READ_REQUEST,
(bus << 8) | addr, 0, dev->i2c_buf, len, 1000);
```
### 2. USB Protocol Violation
Zero-length read control messages violate the USB protocol
specification. This isn't just a theoretical issue - the kernel now
warns about these violations, and they can cause actual communication
problems with USB devices.
### 3. Similar Stable Backports
The pattern of this fix is identical to other drivers that have already
been backported to stable:
- `i2c: robotfuzz-osif: disable zero-length read messages` (commit
8bc5879c038f)
- `i2c: tiny-usb: disable zero-length read messages` (commit
4e093e67e5a9)
Both of these commits explicitly included `Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>`
tags and have been backported to stable trees.
### 4. Small and Contained Fix
The fix is minimal and safe:
- Adds a simple quirks structure with `I2C_AQ_NO_ZERO_LEN_READ` flag
- Only adds 6 lines of code (quirks structure definition and reference)
- Doesn't change any logic flow or introduce new features
- The I2C subsystem respects this quirk and prevents zero-length reads
from reaching the driver
### 5. Real User Impact
This bug can cause:
- Warning messages in kernel logs that alarm users
- Potential USB communication errors
- Incorrect behavior when I2C devices attempt zero-length reads
### 6. No Architectural Changes
The commit:
- Doesn't introduce new features
- Doesn't change existing APIs
- Doesn't modify core kernel infrastructure
- Only adds a defensive measure using existing I2C quirk infrastructure
### 7. Clear Backport Criteria Match
The commit meets stable kernel rules:
- **Fixes a real bug**: USB protocol violation
- **Already causing problems**: Warnings are being printed
- **Obviously correct**: Uses standard I2C quirk mechanism
- **Small change**: Only 6 lines added
- **Tested solution**: Same fix pattern already in stable for other
drivers
The commit should be backported to all stable kernels that include the
hdpvr driver, particularly those where USB core started warning about
zero-length control messages.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my
extensive analysis:
## 1. Nature of the Fix
This commit adds a hardware quirk for the HP Webcam HD 2300 (vendor ID
0x03f0, product ID 0xe207) to work around a hardware bug where the
device doesn't properly flip the FID (Frame ID) bit according to the UVC
specification. The quirk `UVC_QUIRK_STREAM_NO_FID` is applied to this
specific device.
## 2. Bug Impact on Users
Without this quirk, the HP Webcam HD 2300 will not function correctly
with the UVC driver. Based on the code analysis in `uvc_video.c`, the
FID bit is used for frame synchronization:
- When frames are out of sync, the driver drops payloads (lines
2506-2509 in uvc_video.c)
- The EOF (End of Frame) detection relies on proper FID handling (lines
2515-2518)
Without the quirk, users with this webcam would experience:
- Dropped frames
- Synchronization issues
- Non-functional or poorly functioning webcam
## 3. Minimal and Contained Change
The commit is extremely minimal - it only adds 9 lines to the
`uvc_ids[]` array in `uvc_driver.c`:
- Adds a single device entry with proper USB matching flags
- Associates the existing `uvc_quirk_stream_no_fid` structure with this
device
- No new code logic, just a device ID table entry
## 4. Low Risk of Regression
This change has virtually zero risk of regression because:
- It only affects the specific HP Webcam HD 2300 device (vendor 0x03f0,
product 0xe207)
- Uses an existing, well-tested quirk mechanism
(`UVC_QUIRK_STREAM_NO_FID`)
- The quirk infrastructure is already present in stable kernels
- Similar quirks have been successfully backported before (as seen in
the git log)
## 5. Follows Stable Tree Patterns
Looking at the commit history, similar device-specific quirk additions
have been regularly added:
- `8c54e58f94ed` - Add quirk for Actions UVC05
- `2762eab6d414` - Add Kurokesu C1 PRO camera
- `81f8c0e138c4` - Add quirk for Sonix Technology Co. 292a
- `b2ec92bb5605` - Add quirk for Kaiweets KTI-W02
These types of hardware enablement fixes are routinely backported to
stable kernels.
## 6. User-Reported Issue
The commit includes:
- `Reported-by: Michaël Melchiore`
- A `Closes:` tag linking to the original bug report
This indicates a real user encountered this problem and reported it,
making it a confirmed hardware compatibility issue affecting actual
users.
## Conclusion
This is an ideal candidate for stable backporting as it:
- Fixes a real hardware bug affecting users
- Is minimal and self-contained (9 lines added)
- Has zero risk of affecting other devices
- Enables proper functionality for HP Webcam HD 2300 users
- Follows established patterns for UVC driver quirk additions

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
## Bug Fix Analysis
1. **Critical Boot Issue**: The commit fixes a sensor initialization
failure where the sensor could fail to boot if a non-default clock
frequency was used. The commit message explicitly states: "Prior than
this having a different clock value than default sensor's value was
used (12 MHz) could prevent the sensor from booting."
2. **Clear Root Cause**: The issue is a timing/sequencing problem where
the external clock must be configured BEFORE the patch is applied to
allow proper FSM (Finite State Machine) state transitions. The commit
message states: "Proper clock configuration is required to advance
through FSM states."
3. **Small and Contained Fix**: The fix is minimal - it simply moves one
line of code (`vd55g1_write(sensor, VD55G1_REG_EXT_CLOCK,
sensor->xclk_freq, &ret);`) from the streaming enable function to the
power-on sequence, specifically between sensor detection and
patching.
## Code Analysis
Looking at the code changes:
- **REMOVED** from `vd55g1_enable_streams()` at line 1040 (after power-
on)
- **ADDED** to `vd55g1_power_on()` at line 1614 (after detect, before
patch)
The new sequence in `vd55g1_power_on()` becomes:
1. Enable power/clock → FSM state: READY_TO_BOOT
2. `vd55g1_detect()` - verify sensor ID
3. **NEW: Configure external clock** ← Critical for FSM advancement
4. `vd55g1_patch()` - apply firmware patch
5. Wait for FSM state: SW_STBY
## Stable Criteria Met
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Yes - sensor initialization failure with non-
default clocks
2. **Small change**: Yes - single line moved between functions
3. **No new features**: Correct - just fixes sequencing
4. **Low regression risk**: Yes - moves existing code to proper location
5. **Hardware enablement**: Fixes broken hardware initialization for
VD55G1 sensor
6. **Recently added driver**: The driver was added in April 2025 (commit
e56616d7b23c), making this an early fix for a new driver that likely
needs to work properly in stable kernels
The fix addresses a fundamental initialization issue that would prevent
the sensor from working with any clock frequency other than the default
12 MHz, making it a critical fix for proper hardware support.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Now let me analyze what this patch actually does more carefully:
**YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
## Bug Fix Analysis:
1. **Clear Bug Fix**: The commit fixes a handling issue where the
firmware signals corrupt or dropped frames via
`HFI_BUFFERFLAG_DATACORRUPT` and `HFI_BUFFERFLAG_DROP_FRAME` flags,
but the driver was not properly handling these error conditions.
2. **Data Corruption Prevention**: Without this fix, corrupt video
frames marked by the firmware would be passed to userspace as valid
data, potentially causing:
- Display of corrupted video frames
- Application crashes when processing invalid data
- Incorrect timestamp/sequence handling
3. **Minimal and Contained Changes**: The fix is very small and
targeted:
- Adds two flag definitions (`HFI_BUFFERFLAG_DATACORRUPT`,
`HFI_BUFFERFLAG_DROP_FRAME`)
- Modifies error handling path to properly set `VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR`
- Clears payload and timestamp for error frames
- Returns early to avoid incorrect state updates
4. **No Architectural Changes**: The patch only fixes error handling
logic without changing any APIs, data structures, or architectural
design.
5. **Low Risk of Regression**: The changes are defensive - they only
affect frames already marked as corrupt/dropped by firmware, not the
normal video processing path.
6. **Important User Impact**: Video playback/recording with corrupt
frames is a visible user-facing issue that affects quality of
service.
## Specific Code Analysis:
The key fix in `iris_buffer.c`:
```c
if (buf->flags & V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR) {
state = VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR;
vb2_set_plane_payload(vb2, 0, 0); // Clear payload
vb2->timestamp = 0; // Clear timestamp
v4l2_m2m_buf_done(vbuf, state);
return 0; // Early return
}
```
And in `iris_hfi_gen1_response.c`:
```c
if (hfi_flags & HFI_BUFFERFLAG_DATACORRUPT)
flags |= V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR;
if (hfi_flags & HFI_BUFFERFLAG_DROP_FRAME)
flags |= V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR;
```
This ensures corrupt frames are properly marked as errors and handled
appropriately rather than being passed as valid data.
## Note on Driver Maturity:
While the iris driver is very new (introduced in February 2025), this
makes the fix even more important for stable backporting as it addresses
a fundamental error handling issue in a newly deployed driver that users
may encounter immediately upon adoption.

[ Upstream commit 303d81635e1d9c949b370215cc94526ed81f2e3d ]
The probe for the TC358743 reads the CHIPID register from
the device and compares it to the expected value of 0.
If the I2C request fails then that also returns 0, so
the driver loads thinking that the device is there.
Generally I2C communications are reliable so there is
limited need to check the return value on every transfer,
therefore only amend the one read during probe to check
for I2C errors.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
## Bug Fix Analysis
1. **Critical Probe Bug**: The commit fixes a serious bug where the
TC358743 driver incorrectly loads even when the device is not
present. The original code reads the CHIPID register and compares it
to 0, but if the I2C communication fails, `i2c_rd16()` also returns
0, causing a false positive detection.
2. **User-Visible Impact**: This bug causes the driver to incorrectly
bind to non-existent hardware, which can lead to:
- System instability when attempting to use the non-existent device
- Incorrect driver loading that prevents proper hardware detection
- Potential crashes or errors when userspace tries to interact with
the phantom device
## Code Changes Analysis
The fix is minimal and surgical:
1. **Modified I2C read functions** to return error status:
- Changed `i2c_rd()` from void to int, returning error status
- Added `i2c_rd16_err()` wrapper that captures error state
- Added `i2c_rdreg_err()` to propagate errors through the stack
2. **Fixed probe logic** (lines 2134-2135):
```c
-if ((i2c_rd16(sd, CHIPID) & MASK_CHIPID) != 0) {
+if (i2c_rd16_err(sd, CHIPID, &chipid) ||
+ (chipid & MASK_CHIPID) != 0) {
```
Now properly checks for I2C errors before validating the chip ID.
## Stable Tree Criteria
The commit meets stable tree requirements:
1. **Fixes a real bug**: Prevents incorrect driver loading on I2C
failures
2. **Small and contained**: Changes are limited to error handling in the
probe path
3. **Low regression risk**: Only adds error checking; doesn't change
successful probe behavior
4. **No new features**: Pure bug fix, no functionality additions
5. **Clear fix**: The problem and solution are straightforward
The commit message explicitly states "Generally I2C communications are
reliable so there is limited need to check the return value on every
transfer, therefore only amend the one read during probe" - showing
careful consideration to minimize changes while fixing the critical
issue.
This is a textbook example of a stable-worthy fix: it addresses a
specific hardware detection bug with minimal, safe changes that have no
impact on properly functioning systems.

[ Upstream commit 377cc006a364dfdab2f3f221cfad63a9265200b8 ]
When calling tc358743_set_fmt, the code was calling tc358743_get_fmt
to choose a valid format. However that sets the colorspace
based on information read back from the chip, not the colour
format requested.
The result was that if you called try or set format for UYVY
when the current format was RGB3 then you would get told SRGB,
and try RGB3 when current was UYVY and you would get told
SMPTE170M.
The value programmed in the VI_REP register for the colorspace
is always set by this driver, therefore there is no need to read
back the value, and never set to REC709.
Return the colorspace based on the format set/tried instead.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit is a good candidate for backporting to stable kernel trees
for the following reasons:
## Bug Fix Analysis
1. **Clear Bug Being Fixed**: The commit fixes an incorrect colorspace
reporting bug in the tc358743 HDMI-to-CSI bridge driver. When calling
`tc358743_set_fmt()` to set/try a format, the function was
incorrectly returning the colorspace based on the *current* hardware
state (read from VI_REP register) rather than the colorspace
appropriate for the *requested* format.
2. **User-Visible Impact**: This bug causes incorrect colorspace
metadata to be reported to userspace applications:
- Requesting UYVY format when current is RGB would incorrectly report
SRGB colorspace
- Requesting RGB format when current is UYVY would incorrectly report
SMPTE170M colorspace
- This affects video capture applications that rely on correct
colorspace information for proper color processing
## Code Analysis
3. **Small and Contained Fix**: The change is minimal and well-
contained:
- Adds a simple helper function `tc358743_g_colorspace()` that maps
format codes to appropriate colorspaces
- Removes the problematic register read (`i2c_rd8(sd, VI_REP)`) from
`tc358743_get_fmt()`
- Updates both `tc358743_get_fmt()` and `tc358743_set_fmt()` to use
the helper function
- Total change is about 40 lines with clear logic
4. **No Architectural Changes**: The fix doesn't introduce any new
features or change the driver architecture - it simply corrects the
colorspace reporting logic to be consistent and predictable.
5. **Low Risk of Regression**:
- The driver always writes the VI_REP register value itself in
`tc358743_set_csi_color_space()` (lines 690-691 for UYVY, 702-703
for RGB)
- The commit message correctly notes "The value programmed in the
VI_REP register for the colorspace is always set by this driver"
- The new implementation is simpler and more predictable than reading
back hardware state
- The colorspace mapping (RGB→SRGB, UYVY→SMPTE170M) is standard and
correct
6. **No Side Effects**: The change only affects the colorspace field
reporting and doesn't modify any hardware programming, timing
configuration, or data flow.
7. **Subsystem Isolation**: The tc358743 is a specific HDMI-to-CSI
bridge chip driver that's relatively isolated from core kernel
functionality. Changes here won't affect system stability.
The commit meets stable kernel criteria as it fixes a real bug that
affects userspace applications without introducing new features or risky
changes. The fix is simple, correct, and unlikely to cause regressions.

From: Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@raspberrypi.com>
[ Upstream commit 86addd25314a1e77dbdcfddfeed0bab2f27da0e2 ]
The existing fixed value of 16 worked for UYVY 720P60 over
2 lanes at 594MHz, or UYVY 1080P60 over 4 lanes. (RGB888
1080P60 needs 6 lanes at 594MHz).
It doesn't allow for lower resolutions to work as the FIFO
underflows.
374 is required for 1080P24 or 1080P30 UYVY over 2 lanes @
972Mbit/s, but >374 means that the FIFO underflows on 1080P50
UYVY over 2 lanes @ 972Mbit/s.
Whilst it would be nice to compute it, the required information
isn't published by Toshiba.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
Based on my analysis of the commit and the kernel repository, here is my
assessment:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
1. **Bug Fix for Real Hardware Issues**: The commit fixes a concrete bug
where the tc358743 HDMI-to-CSI2 bridge experiences FIFO underflows
with certain video resolutions. The old hardcoded value of 16 causes
failures with lower resolutions (1080P24, 1080P30) and different lane
configurations, making the hardware unusable in these modes.
2. **Small and Contained Change**: The fix is minimal - it only changes
a single value from 16 to 374 and adds explanatory comments. The
change is confined to the probe function's initialization code and
doesn't modify any complex logic or introduce new features.
3. **No Architectural Changes**: This is a simple parameter adjustment
that doesn't alter the driver's architecture or introduce new
subsystems. It only modifies the FIFO trigger threshold value written
to the hardware register (FIFOCTL).
4. **Clear Problem and Solution**: The commit message clearly explains:
- The old value (16) worked only for specific configurations (720P60
2-lane, 1080P60 4-lane at 594MHz)
- It failed for lower resolutions due to FIFO underflows
- The new value (374) fixes these issues while maintaining
compatibility with the original working modes
5. **Hardware Compatibility Fix**: This is a hardware compatibility fix
for the Toshiba TC358743 HDMI-to-CSI2 bridge chip. Users with this
hardware trying to use affected video modes would experience failures
without this fix.
6. **Low Risk of Regression**: The change increases the FIFO threshold
from a very conservative value (16) to a more appropriate one (374).
The commit message indicates this value was tested with multiple
configurations and represents a sweet spot that works for both low
and high resolution modes.
7. **Affects End Users**: Without this fix, users cannot use certain
common video formats (1080P24/30) with this hardware, which directly
impacts functionality.
The commit follows stable tree rules by being a minimal bugfix that
resolves a real hardware issue without introducing new features or
making risky changes. The fact that it's simply adjusting a hardware
register value to fix FIFO underflow issues makes it an ideal candidate
for stable backporting.

[ Upstream commit 99f2211a9d89fe34b3fa847fd7a4475171406cd0 ]
probe() requests the reset GPIO to be set to high when getting it.
Immeditately after this hi556_resume() is called and sets the GPIO low.
If the GPIO was low before requesting it this will result in the GPIO
only very briefly spiking high and the sensor not being properly reset.
The same problem also happens on back to back runtime suspend + resume.
Fix this by adding a sleep of 2 ms in hi556_resume() before setting
the GPIO low (if there is a reset GPIO).
The final sleep is kept unconditional, because if there is e.g. no reset
GPIO but a controllable clock then the sensor also needs some time after
enabling the clock.

## Analysis
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
### 1. **Fixes a Real Hardware Initialization Bug**
The commit addresses a timing race condition in the hi556 camera sensor
driver where:
- In `hi556_probe()`, the reset GPIO is requested with `GPIOD_OUT_HIGH`
(line 1352-1353)
- Immediately after, `hi556_resume()` is called (line 1376) which sets
the GPIO low
- This results in the GPIO only briefly spiking high, preventing proper
sensor reset
### 2. **Clear User-Visible Impact**
The bug causes:
- Sensor initialization failures when the GPIO was previously low
- Runtime suspend/resume failures on back-to-back operations
- Camera sensor not working properly due to inadequate reset timing
### 3. **Small and Contained Fix**
The change is minimal and surgical:
- Adds only 3 lines of code (a conditional check and a 2ms delay)
- Changes are confined to the `hi556_resume()` function
- No architectural changes or new features introduced
### 4. **Low Risk of Regression**
- The fix only adds a delay when a reset GPIO is present
- The unconditional 5ms delay at the end is preserved
- The change follows standard practice for hardware reset timing
requirements
- Only affects systems with the hi556 sensor that have a reset GPIO
configured
### 5. **Affects Recently Added Functionality**
The reset GPIO support was added relatively recently (commit
860f262dd0dd from April 2024), and this fix corrects a bug in that
implementation. Systems using this feature would benefit from the fix.
### 6. **Follows Stable Kernel Rules**
The commit:
- Fixes a real bug that affects users
- Is small (under 100 lines)
- Has been tested (signed off by multiple maintainers)
- Doesn't add new features
- Has minimal risk of causing new issues
The timing issue this fixes is a classic hardware initialization race
condition that would cause sporadic camera failures, making it an
important fix for systems using the hi556 sensor with GPIO reset
control.

From: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@chromium.org>
[ Upstream commit 649c033711d7fd6e1d5d69e4cfc3fceca7de2867 ]
To implement VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, we need to know the minimum, maximum,
step and flags of the control. For some of the controls, this involves
querying the actual hardware.
Some non-compliant cameras produce errors when we query them. These
error can be triggered every time, sometimes, or when other controls do
not have the "right value". Right now, we populate that error to userspace.
When an error happens, the v4l2 framework does not copy the v4l2_queryctrl
struct to userspace. Also, userspace apps are not ready to handle any
other error than -EINVAL.
One of the main usecases of VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL is enumerating the controls
of a device. This is done using the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag. In
that usecase, a non-compliant control will make it almost impossible to
enumerate all controls of the device.
A control with an invalid max/min/step/flags is better than non being
able to enumerate the rest of the controls.
This patch:
- Retries for an extra attempt to read the control, to avoid spurious
errors. More attempts do not seem to produce better results in the
tested hardware.
- Makes VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL return 0 for -EIO errors.
- Introduces a warning in dmesg so we can have a trace of what has happened
and sets the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED.
- Makes sure we keep returning V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED for all the next
attempts to query that control (other operations have the same
functionality as now).

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
**Backport Status: YES**
This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees for the
following reasons:
## Bug Fix for Real-World Hardware Issues
The commit addresses a **critical usability bug** where non-compliant
USB cameras can prevent enumeration of all device controls through
`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`. This is not a feature addition but a fix for
existing functionality that fails with certain hardware.
## Key Evidence from Code Analysis:
1. **Fixes Control Enumeration Breakage**: The commit message explicitly
states that "a non-compliant control will make it almost impossible
to enumerate all controls of the device." This prevents userspace
applications from discovering and using device capabilities.
2. **Handles Hardware Non-Compliance Gracefully**: The changes add retry
logic (MAX_QUERY_RETRIES=2) and error tolerance for -EIO errors,
converting them to disabled controls rather than propagating errors:
```c
+ for (retries = 0; retries < MAX_QUERY_RETRIES; retries++) {
+ ret = uvc_ctrl_populate_cache(chain, ctrl);
+ if (ret != -EIO)
+ break;
+ }
```
3. **Minimal and Contained Changes**: The fix is localized to the UVC
driver's control handling:
- Adds a `bool disabled` field to `uvc_control_mapping` structure
- Modifies error handling in `__uvc_queryctrl_boundaries()` and
`__uvc_query_v4l2_ctrl()`
- Returns success (0) instead of error for problematic controls,
marking them as disabled
4. **Preserves Existing Behavior for Compliant Hardware**: The changes
only affect error paths - compliant hardware continues to work
exactly as before. The V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED flag is only set when
errors occur.
5. **Critical for User Experience**: Without this fix, users with
affected cameras cannot properly use their devices with standard V4L2
applications. The commit message notes "userspace apps are not ready
to handle any other error than -EINVAL."
## Stable Tree Criteria Met:
✓ **Fixes a real bug**: Non-compliant cameras fail to enumerate controls
✓ **Small and self-contained**: ~100 lines of targeted changes
✓ **Already tested**: Has review from Hans de Goede and sign-offs from
multiple maintainers
✓ **No new features**: Only improves error handling for existing
functionality
✓ **Low regression risk**: Only modifies error paths, preserves working
behavior
The commit follows the stable kernel rules by fixing an important bug
that affects real users while keeping changes minimal and focused on the
specific problem. The retry mechanism and disabled flag approach is a
conservative solution that maintains compatibility while improving
robustness.
