Good! Thank you :)

I'm not sure what to make of the test results. I get the same results
with or without the patch. Which I guess makes sense... in dummy_queue,
this is getting hit when the uvc function driver tries to complete the
delayed status:

	req = usb_request_to_dummy_request(_req);
	if (!_req || !list_empty(&req->queue) || !_req->complete)
		return -EINVAL;

So the delayed/explicit status stage is never completed, afaict.
