[Bug 1422680] [NEW] v4l2 regression: T420s built in camera stopped working

 

Public bug reported:

The  Chicony Electronics Camera (as built into for example Lenovo T420s)
stopped working somewhere between kernel 3.2 and 3.13.

I use both kernels in Ubuntu 12.04, and the camera works with the older
one, so I filed the bug here as I don't know when it stopped working.

The camera is still recognized by v4l2, properties can be accessed by
v4l2-ctl for example, and seemed correctly reported back (pixelformats
for exmaple match my expectation).  But the frame capturing intself will
always fail with 'device busy'.

What further information would be useful?
