Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

It can also be an ITERM for output devices. You can drop this function
and use stream>header.bTerminalLink below (see uvc_stream_by_id() and
its usage in uvc_register_terms()).

I wonder if these two should be video-cap and video-out (or vid-cap and
vid-out if you want to shorten them) ?

The unit ID is never negative, so %u ?

Truncating the device name at the beginning of the video node name isn't
very nice :-S How about the following ?

snprintf(vdev->name, sizeof(vdev->name), "%s-%u (%s)", type_name,
uvc_oterm_id(stream->chain), dev->name);

with the suffix variable renamed to type_name ?

Thinking some more about it, vdev->name serves two purposes in the
driver: creating the entity name, and reporting the card name in
querycap. The former is done in the V4L2 core, which uses vdev->name
as-is. In this context, we con't need to add dev->name, it would be
redundant as the media controller device already reports it. The latter
is done in uvc_ioctl_querycap(). How about dropping dev->name from
vdev->name, and modifying uvc_ioctl_querycap() to use dev->name instead
of cap->card ?
