IMO, instead of a parameter that just enables/disables the bandwidth
limit, the best would be to have a parameter specifying the bandwidth
(with 0 meaning unlimited). 

If not used, vivid would initialize it to dev->webcam_bandwidth_limit,
so a read operation will show the current limit.

I would also use 0666, to allow changing this on runtime.
