Of course yes.  I was not going to look around and update the existing
call sites to find whatever controlling uvc_device * or other struct *
to a real device that exists though.

It's not even clear from the changes that an appropriate pointer to
some struct exists in all the functions.

That's work for someone that knows the actual subsystem and I do not.
