[PATCH v3 3/8] media: uvc: Create UVC_QUIRK_IGNORE_EMPTY_TS quirk

From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 05:46:18 EST


Some SunplusIT cameras took a borderline interpretation of the UVC 1.5
standard, and fill the PTS and SCR fields with invalid data if the
package does not contain data.

"STC must be captured when the first video data of a video frame is put
on the USB bus."

Eg:

buffer: 0xa7755c00 len 000012 header:0x8c stc 00000000 sof 0000 pts 00000000
buffer: 0xa7755c00 len 000012 header:0x8c stc 00000000 sof 0000 pts 00000000
buffer: 0xa7755c00 len 000668 header:0x8c stc 73779dba sof 070c pts 7376d37a

This borderline/buggy interpretation has been implemented in a variety
of devices, from directly SunplusIT and from other OEMs that rebrand
SunplusIT products.

Luckily we can identify the affected modules by looking at the guid of
one of the extension units:

VideoControl Interface Descriptor:
guidExtensionCode {82066163-7050-ab49-b8cc-b3855e8d221d}

This patch adds a new quirk to take care of this.
