I'll apply this patch. On those USB cameras, the best is to always
initialize, as we can't ensure that apps will do that.

There are actually some record scripts that just do a cat
at the /dev/video0 device, without issuing any ioctl
(or just doing a minimal set of them, via v4l2-ctl).

Thanks,
Mauro
