[PATCH v4] media: uvcvideo: Fix bandwidth error for Alcor camera

[Ai Chao]

For Alcor Corp. Slave camera(1b17:6684/2017:0011), it support to output
 compressed video data, and it return a wrong dwMaxPayloadTransferSize
 fields. This is a fireware issue, but the manufacturer cannot provide
 a const return fieldsby the fireware. For some device, it requested
 2752512 B/frame bandwidth. For normally device, it requested 3072 or 1024
 B/frame bandwidth. so we check the dwMaxPayloadTransferSize fields,if it
 large than 0x1000, reset dwMaxPayloadTransferSize to 1024, and the camera
 preview normally.

Hi Ai,

Thank you for the patch.

Could you please send me the USB descriptors for the 2017:0011 device
(lsusb -v -d 2017:0011) ?

Is the issue limited to MJPEG ? The device also supports YUYV, does it
provide a correct dwMaxPayloadTransferSize in that case ?

Let's add a bit more documentation:

	/*
	 * Another issue is with devices that report a transfer size that
	 * greatly exceeds the maximum supported by any existing USB version.
	 * For instance, the "Slave camera" devices from Alcor Corp. (2017:0011
	 * and 1b17:66B8) request 2752512 bytes per interval.
	 */

I would also take this as an opportunity to document the previous fixup,
just above the UVC_QUIRK_FIX_BANDWIDTH check, with

	/*
	 * Many devices report an incorrect dwMaxPayloadTransferSize value. The
	 * most common issue is devices requesting the maximum possible USB
	 * bandwidth (3072 bytes per interval for high-speed, high-bandwidth
	 * isochronous endpoints) while they actually require less, preventing
	 * multiple cameras from being used at the same time due to bandwidth
	 * overallocation.
	 *
	 * For those devices, replace the dwMaxPayloadTransferSize value based
	 * on an estimation calculated from the frame format and size. This is
	 * only possible for uncompressed formats, as not enough information is
	 * available to reliably estimate the bandwidth requirements for
	 * compressed formats.
	 */

> +	if ((format->flags & UVC_FMT_FLAG_COMPRESSED) &&
> +	    (ctrl->dwMaxPayloadTransferSize > 0x1000) &&

Given that the highest bandwidth supported by high-speed, high bandwidth
devices is 3072 bytes per interval, I would check

	    (ctrl->dwMaxPayloadTransferSize > 3072) &&

here.

> +	    usb_match_id(stream->dev->intf, alcor_corp_slave_cam)) {

I'm also wondering if we could enable this fixup for all devices using
isochronous endpoints (as for bulk endpoints the transfer size can be
higher), without checking the VID:PID. No isochronous high-speed,
high-bandwidth device should have a swMaxPayloadTransferSize value
higher than 3072.  For super-speed devices I'm not entirely sure if the
maximum transfer size covers multiple transfers in a burst. Ricardo, do
you know anything about that ?

I can send a v5 that does all this.
