Thanks for the patch.

I'd like to prevent excessive memory consumption by limiting the number of 
menu entries, similarly to how the driver limits the number of mappings. 
Defining UVC_MAX_CONTROL_MENU_ENTRIES to 32 in uvcvideo.h should be a 
reasonable value.

I'd rather do

	ret = -EINVAL;
	goto done;

to centralize error handling.

If you're fine with both changes I can modify the patch, there's no need to 
resubmit.
