With the patch the camera is detected correctly, and webcamd starts
and creates the /dev/video0 device.

root@rpi2:~ # usbconfig
ugen0.1: <OTG Root HUB DWCOTG> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH
(480Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA)

root@rpi2:~ # pgrep -lf webcamd
28483 /usr/local/sbin/webcamd -i 0 -d ugen0.5 -B -U webcamd -G webcamd -H


I still can't read anything off the camera though with pwcview

root@rpi2:~ # pwcview -h -c 1 -d /dev/video0 -o x.jpg
Webcam set to: 320x240 (sif) at 5 fps
libv4l2: error turning on stream: Device not configured
libv4l2: error reading: Invalid argument
Error reading from webcam: Invalid argument

Am I overlooking something obvious?
