Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

This won't be perfect as the string is not guaranteed to fit in
vdev->name, but I suppose it will help as a quick fix for some devices.
How about the other devices ? Won't they still exhibit the above
v4l2-compliance failure ? Isn't that something that will still affect
Chrome OS devices ?

The change should not cause any regression as big as in patch 1/3.
However, unless I'm mistaken users will notice a device name change,
especially when selecting a device in their web browser. Could that be a
problem ?
