A UVC device is usually a composite USB device with an audio (UAC) function in addition to UVC, and that may require a different heap (at least conceptually). Wouldn't the video_device be a better candidate to expose the link ? This would create a race condition though, as the link will be created after userspace gets notified of the device being available. > + goto error; > + > /* Register the V4L2 device. */ > if (v4l2_device_register(&intf->dev, &dev->vdev) < 0) > goto error; -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
