Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] uvc_video: check for fid change early in decode_start
and avoid wrong error counting
Hi Michael
So if my understanding is correct, what you want to achieve is to
avoid double stats_decode when the function returns -EAGAIN.
Wouldn't it be simpler to simply move uvc_video_clock_decode() and
uvc_video_stats_decode() before
stream->last_fid = fid;
just at the end of the function? Or am I missing something?
Besides being a small and documented function,
uvc_video_decode_start() is difficult to follow :), So I might be
saying something stupid
Regards
