Subject: [PATCH v2] media: uvcvideo: Fix pixel format change for Elgato Cam Link 4K
The Elgato Cam Link 4K HDMI video capture card reports to support three
different pixel formats, where the first format depends on the connected
HDMI device.
```
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
Type: Video Capture
[0]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
Size: Discrete 3840x2160
Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
[1]: 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
Size: Discrete 3840x2160
Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
[2]: 'YU12' (Planar YUV 4:2:0)
Size: Discrete 3840x2160
Interval: Discrete 0.033s (29.970 fps)
```
Changing the pixel format to anything besides the first pixel format
does not work:
```
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --try-fmt-video pixelformat=YU12
Format Video Capture:
Width/Height : 3840/2160
Pixel Format : 'NV12' (Y/CbCr 4:2:0)
Field : None
Bytes per Line : 3840
Size Image : 12441600
Colorspace : sRGB
Transfer Function : Rec. 709
YCbCr/HSV Encoding: Rec. 709
Quantization : Default (maps to Limited Range)
Flags :
```
User space applications like VLC might show an error message on the
terminal in that case:
```
libv4l2: error set_fmt gave us a different result than try_fmt!
```
Depending on the error handling of the user space applications, they
might display a distorted video, because they use the wrong pixel format
for decoding the stream.
The Elgato Cam Link 4K responds to the USB video probe
VS_PROBE_CONTROL/VS_COMMIT_CONTROL with a malformed data structure: The
second byte contains bFormatIndex (instead of being the second byte of
bmHint). The first byte is always zero. The third byte is always 1.
The firmware bug was reported to Elgato on 2020-12-01 and it was
forwarded by the support team to the developers as feature request.
There is no firmware update available since then. The latest firmware
for Elgato Cam Link 4K as of 2021-03-23 has MCU 20.02.19 and FPGA 67.
Therefore add a quirk to correct the malformed data structure.
The quirk was successfully tested with VLC, OBS, and Chromium using
different pixel formats (YUYV, NV12, YU12), resolutions (3840x2160,
1920x1080), and frame rates (29.970 and 59.940 fps).

In version 2, I only enhanced the comment in the code to document that
the quirk is only applied to broken responses (guarded by
ctrl->bmHint > 255). So in case Elgato fixes the firmware, the quirk
will be skipped.
Adam Goode suggested to also apply the quirk to Elgato Game Capture HD
60 S+ (0fd9:006a). Can someone owning this device test this patch/quirk
(or can someone borrow me one for testing)?
Feel free to propose a better name for the quirk than
UVC_QUIRK_FIX_FORMAT_INDEX.
To backport to version 5.11 and earlier, the line
```
uvc_dbg(stream->dev, CONTROL,
```
needs to be changed back to
```
uvc_trace(UVC_TRACE_CONTROL,
