Had you test this patch? I suspect it breaks the driver, as there are failures under
streaming handling that are acceptable, as it may indicate that userspace was not
able to handle all queued frames in time. On such cases, what the Kernel does is to
just discard the frame. Userspace is able to detect it, by looking inside the timestamp
added on each frame.
