Nice!

Can you try 'v4l2-compliance -s'? Note that this may not work since I know
that v4l2-compliance doesn't work all that well with codecs, but I am
curious what the output is when you try streaming.

Don't bother trying to chase down reported failures, those are likely from
v4l2-compliance itself. It is something I would like to improve, but -ENOTIME.
