Basically, URBs get lost: they cause apps like qv4l2 to crash
sometimes, with:

	v4l-convert: libjpeg error: Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment

The image keeps blinking, and part of the image is replaced by
white noise.

Clearly, it tries to send more data than the maximum available bandwidth
on this chipset.


Sent a v2 addressing the issues you pointed.


Thanks,
