Re: [linux-uvc-devel] [PATCH v3] uvcvideo: uvc_scan_fallback() for webcams with broken chain

[Henrik I. <hen...@av...>]

Just to follow up, this patch was merged by Linus yesterday.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/e950267ab802c8558f1100eafd4087fd039ad634

I'd like to thank people on this list for help and advice, as this was
my first ever patch to the kernel. The "Suggested-by" header was lost
in the process, but I'd especially like to thank Arno Wilhelm for
doing the debugging and discovering that the Acer camera actually
works if the error that happens in the loading phase of the driver is
just ignored.

cc me if there are any questions.
