   pbos: Hi folks, we're having an issue in uvcvideo where Interface Association devices (USB) show up with the same name (iProduct) and no differentiators based on iFunction. Essentially we get two /dev/videoX with the same device name. I have a patch for this that compounds the two based on iFunction string availability "iProduct (iFunction)" where both are available
   <br> How do I handle submitting this patch?
   <br> Or maintainers I should talk to, I've only submitted kernel patches to chromium-os branches.
   <br> :)

   pbos: <u>hverkuil</u>: Thanks.
   <br> Can I tell if any characters are inappropriate to put in this compound, or will that generally be better handled on the list?
   <br> like "foo (bar)"
   <br> or foo: bar
   hverkuil: I have no idea what you mean.
   <br> 'compound'?
   pbos: <u>hverkuil</u>: If I want to put both iProduct and iFunction in the uvc device name, I should probably not do "iProduct ☃ iFunction" as the device name
   <br> Are there any other characters that I might want to avoid?
   <br> or should anything visible ascii be fair game?
   <br> <u>iProduct</u>: iFunction would also work
   hverkuil: Anything with codes between 0x20 and 0x7f should be OK.
   pbos: thx
