Thank you both for the review. Ricardo, you're right that v1 would
decode trailer data as a payload header and break those cameras.

In v2 I combined both suggestions:

- The URB is only split for devices with a new
  UVC_QUIRK_BULK_UNALIGNED_PAYLOAD quirk, set for 0bda:579f only.
  Everything else goes through the existing path unchanged.
- Even with the quirk, the remainder is only decoded as a new payload
  if it looks like a UVC header (EOH set, bHeaderLength fits the data
  and covers the PTS/SCR fields it announces). Otherwise the URB is
  handled as before.
- A one-time "UVC non compliance" message is printed when the
  workaround is used.

v2 is here, with test results on the affected camera:

Ricardo, Mauro: sorry, I left you off the v2 Cc by mistake.

Thanks,
Waleed
