I think i found (at least in my system) why Gnome Snapshot dosent work, i dont know if this error is also present on your machine with the patches, so i have organiced this message with commands for you to be able to directly copy-paste them and make tests

There are resolution in wich the cammera works fine like:
qcam --stream "width=1280,height=720" the resolution that uses google meet
qcam --stream "width=640,height=480" resolution on a web camera test online
qcam whithout the stream parameter, which has a cuality of 3836 × 2640

But there are some that experience the violet and lines error i reported o my previous test
qcam --stream "width=1920,height=1080" this one is the resolution gnome snapshot uses
qcam --stream "width=1440,height=810"
qcam --stream "width=960,height=540"

I hope this helps in the development of the driver
