When a UVC device is unbound while userspace still holds the video
device open, the VS interface claims are released only after the last
file descriptor is closed. Rebinding before that fails to claim the VS
interfaces, leaving the VC interface bound without a usable video
device:
[ 3229.189556] uvcvideo: Probing generic UVC device 1
[ 3229.190496] uvcvideo: device 2 interface 1 is already claimed
...
[ 3229.193758] uvcvideo: Scanning UVC chain: OT 4 <- XU 3 <- PU 2 <- IT 1
[ 3229.193766] uvcvideo: Found a valid video chain (1 -> 4).
[ 3229.193771] usb 9-1: No streaming interface found for terminal 4.
Check after registering all video chains that at least one video device
was registered, and fail the probe with -ENODEV otherwise.
Devices with no usable streaming interface at all will now also stay
unbound instead of being bound without any video device.

Please provide the USB descriptors for your device.
