[PATCH v7 1/5] media: uvcvideo: Do not mark valid metadata as invalid

From: Ricardo Ribalda
Date: Tue Jun 17 2025 - 10:45:51 EST


Currently, the driver performs a length check of the metadata buffer
before the actual metadata size is known and before the metadata is
decided to be copied. This results in valid metadata buffers being
incorrectly marked as invalid.

Move the length check to occur after the metadata size is determined and
is decided to be copied.
