The commit 52c4dfcead49 ("Staging: vc04_services: Cleanup in ctrl_set_bitrate()") changed the return behavior of ctrl_set_bitrate(). We cannot do this because of a bug in the firmware, which breaks probing of bcm2835-camera: bcm2835-v4l2: mmal_init: failed to set all camera controls: -3 Cleanup: Destroy video encoder Cleanup: Destroy image encoder Cleanup: Destroy video render Cleanup: Destroy camera bcm2835-v4l2: bcm2835_mmal_probe: mmal init failed: -3 bcm2835-camera: probe of bcm2835-camera failed with error -3 So restore the old behavior, add an explaining comment and a debug message to verify that the bug has been fixed in firmware.
