Hi Isaac,

Thank you for the patch.

Alphabetical order please. This helps avoiding duplicates in long lists
of includes as they can be spotted more easily.

The kernel has a tendency to roughly sort variables by decreasing line
length, and the uvcvideo driver follows that rule when nothing else
makes it impractical.

And I'd drop the blank line here.

I would add "for these devices" at the end of the sentence. I expect it
to be universally true, but we haven't checked.

No need for the outer parentheses.

I would have written

		if (len > header_len + 2 &&

and shouldn't it actually be

		if (len >= header_len + 2 &&

?

Please use tabs for indentation, like in the previous lines.
