+ * the first packet containing video data.
+ *
+ * Most vendors follow that interpretation, but some (namely SunplusIT

+ * field with 0's,and expect that the driver only processes the SCR if
+ * there is data in the packet.

+ * Ignore all the hardware timestamp information if we haven't received
+ * any data for this frame yet, the packet contains no data, and both
+ * STC and SOF are zero. This heuristics should be safe on compliant
+ * devices. This should be safe with compliant devices, as in the very
+ * unlikely case where a UVC 1.1 device would send timing information
+ * only before the first packet containing data, and both STC and SOF
+ * happen to be zero for a particular frame, we would only miss one
+ * clock sample from many and the clock recovery algorithm wouldn't
