Just thinking out loud,

This opens up UVC devices to read raw full frame images through this
interface as well.

Due to the UVC protocol, there is /already/ a full memcpy to get these
images out of the URB packets, so using a read() interface would be
another full frame copy.

I can perhaps see the usecase for reading compressed data through this
interface - but full frames don't seem appropriate. (not impossible of
course, just is it reasonable?)

If this is to be enabled, should it be enabled for compressed formats
only? or would that complicate matters?
