Thanks for reviewing the patch.

Adam Goode suggested that the Game Capture HD 60 S+ (0fd9:006a) from the
same vendor is probably affected by the same bug. I cannot test this
assumption since I don't have this device (I am open for a loaner
device). An Internet search did not reveal bug reports in this regard.
Most search results referred to older versions (e.g. without + or
without S+) Do you still prefer to test the USB VID:PID?

I will test setting bmHint to something else than 1 to check. I will
report back then. Either follow your sugstion or update the comment.
