Some cameras will pretty much entirely fill all the image buffers all the
time even though they are using compression.
This patch adds a flag to sd_desc, which drivers for such cameras can set.
When this flag is set the bandwidth calculation code will no longer
assume that the image buffer size is a worst case and less bandwidth than
imagebufsize * fps will be used on average.
This patch sets this new flag for 3 drivers:
* For spca561 (for rev12a cameras) and nw80x cams as these simply don't work
when given less bandwidth than imagebufsize * fps.
* For sn9c20x cameras, because these show severy jpeg artifacts when
given less bandwidth than imagebufsize * fps and since these are usb2
cameras there is plenty bandwidth anyways.
