Hi Adam,
Thank you for the patch.

Good catch. I've seen my share of buggy cameras, just not this
particular bug I suppose :-)

This looks good to me. Blank lines between the different blocks would be
good to let the code breathe a little bit :-) Apart from that,

There's no need to resubmit the patch for such a trivial change, unless
you object, I'll add the blank lines locally.
I may submit an additional patch on top of this to share the above code
with the identical implementation in uvc_fixup_video_ctrl().
