I don't see why being more consistent with the rest of the v4l2 driver makes it a bad thing. I am reverting the ChromeOS solution for this race condition and applying this patch instead: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/5632459/1 That is going to test this patch in some million devices in some days. This change is self-contained, fixes a real problem, makes the driver consistent and will be tested by lots of users. We could land this patch and help our users until there is a solution in cdev. I would argue that even with a solution in cdev this is not a bad patch. > ideally with support in the cdev core. It seems I'll have to do it > myself ?
