Can this be fixed by saving the timestamp from uvc_video_get_ts() in
uvc_urb_complete() and use it in both uvc_video_decode_start() and
uvc_video_clock_decode()?

steam->urb_wq is set to NULL after killing all urbs. There should be
no completion callback when its NULL. This is the reason for two for-
loops in uvc_uninit_video()

Probably yes. But why keep it when it's not in use?
