Why, ô why does UVC not provide a way to query this dynamically ? :-( Of
course, even if it did, I'm sure vendors would get it wrong... It sounds
like the Windows UVC compliance test suite must be a joke.

I'll write

	/* Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Integrated Camera */

as that's what the descriptors expose. Is this integrated in a
chromebook by any chance ? If so, could you share which model the camera
is found in, and can I add that to the comment ?
