Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

Why, ô, why :'-(

This will change the error returned by VIDIOC_S_FMT and VIDIOC_TRY_FMT,
but I don't think that will cause issues.

I'd swap the tests, as the second one is cheaper. You also don't need
the inner parentheses.

I would also swap those two lines, if an error occurs when resetting the
device, it's good to have the "restarting" message printed first.

If I understand this correctly, probe will still fail, and the user will
have to unplug and replug the device to fix this, right ? If so I'd
expand the error message, maybe something along those lines:

		dev_err(&stream->intf->dev, "Elgato Cam Link 4K firmware crash detected\n");
		dev_err(&stream->intf->dev, "Resetting the device, unplug and replug to recover\n");
