Hi Roger,

Thank you for the patch.

The commit message only explains why we should not call UVCIOC_SEND_RESPONSE
in response to a STREAMON event, but not why we shouldn't either in response
to a STREAMOFF event. The patch is correct changing both, but I propose
wording the above two paragraphs as follows.

"uvc-gadget: Do not send Set Interface (alternate setting) response twice

On alternate setting change, the webcam gadget sends us a UVC_EVENT_STREAMON
or UVC_EVENT_STREAMOFF event. In the first case, the driver will issue a
delayed status response automatically when we call the VIDIOC_STREAMON ioctl.
In the second case, the driver sends the status response immediately. We must
thus not send the status response manually with UVCIOC_SEND_RESPONSE in any of
those cases."

If you're fine with that I'll change the message when applying, there's no
need to resend the patch.
