We already have a uvc_entity_by_id() which could be used for that, but
only for the second loop iteration. The first one finds any input
terminal. Also, the second loop restricts the search to a chain, while
uvc_entity_by_id() it global to the device. I think the proposed patch
is fine.

Looking forward to that :-)

You can drop this, pin is not used anymore in the rest of the function.

And here you could use
			if (it->id == selector->baSourceID[index]) {

and drop the local pin variable.

If you're fine with those small changes I can handle them when applying
the patch to my tree.
