This is not how the driver works today. Look at the "return -EIO" just
above in case the expected endpoint is missing. And similarly for the
isochronous case for which zero wMaxPacket isn't handled until
uvc_video_start_transfer() either (a few lines further up still).

Note however the copy-paste error in the commit message mentioning
probe(), which is indeed where this would typically be handled.

Do you want me to resend or can you change

s/probe()/uvc_video_start_transfer()/

in the commit message when applying if you think this is acceptable as
is?
