It makes more sense to depend on the typical frame size when calculating the number of requests. This patch is changing this and is using the previous limits as boundaries for reasonable minimum and maximum number of requests.

These two things have to be fixed in a seperate patch. Greg seems to have taken it already, as is.
I'm however now sure where the division by 2 come from. Furthermore, as far as I understand, the reason why the number of requests was increased for superspeed devices (by you ;-)) was to avoid underruns at higher speeds and keep the queue full. This is less of a concern at lower speeds. Is there any drawback in increasing it regardless of the speed ? Increased latency comes to mind, but is it a problem in practice ?
This is a good question. Lets think through the case, where we set the number of requests to an high number, just to be safe. I think that for lower bandwidth USB you will probably not send high resolution video. Especially if they are uncompressed. So having an extra amount of requests available, they will probably unnecessary keep more data than one frame in memory. For the high bandwidth usb case we would by default also keep an extra amount of memory available, especially if the burst and mult is set in the upper values. We would have to think of an resonable value for both cases. This is why I think depending on the framesize is an good compromise.
+ nreq = DIV_ROUND_UP(DIV_ROUND_UP(sizes[0], 2), req_size); + nreq = clamp(nreq, 4U, 64U); + video->uvc_num_requests = nreq; return 0; }
