Hello Mian Yousaf,

Thank you for the patch.

This will change the timing of the uvc_video_clock_decode() call. Have you 
double-checked that it won't cause any issue ? It will also increase the delay 
between end of frame reception and timestamp sampling in 
uvc_video_decode_start(), which I'd like to avoid.

That's sound racy. If stream->urb_wq can be set to NULL and the work queue 
destroyed by uvc_uninit_video() in parallel to the URB completion handler, the 
work queue could be destroyed between the if (wq) check and the call to 
queue_work().

Does the work queue really need to be destroyed every time the video stream is 
stopped ? It looks to me like we could initialize it when the driver is 
initialized and destroy it only when the device is disconnected.
