The UVC spec is a bit vague wrt devices using bulk endpoints,
specifically, how to signal to a device to start streaming.

For devices using isoc endpoints, the sequence for start streaming is:
1) The host sends PROBE_CONTROL(SET_CUR) PROBE_CONTROL(GET_CUR)
2) Host selects desired config and calls COMMIT_CONTROL(SET_CUR)
3) Host selects an alt interface other then zero - e.g SELECT_ALTERNATE_INTERFACE(1)
4) The device starts streaming

However for devices using bulk endpoints, there must be *no* alt interface
other than setting zero. From the UVC spec:
"A VideoStreaming interface containing a bulk endpoint for streaming shall
support only alternate setting zero. Additional alternate settings containing
bulk endpoints are not permitted in a device that is compliant with the Video
Class specification."

So for devices using bulk endpoints, step #3 above is irrelevant, and thus
cannot be used as an indication for the device to start streaming.
So in practice, such devices start streaming immediately after a
COMMIT_CONTROL(SET_CUR).

In the uvc resume() handler, an unsolicited commit is sent, which causes
devices using bulk endpoints to start streaming unintentionally.

This patch modifies resume() handler to send a commit only if streaming
needs to be reestablished, i.e if the device was actually streaming before is
was suspended.

Hi Guennadi,

Thank you for the patch, and sorry for the late reply.

Speaking of bulk devices, based on your experience, how do devices detect a 
stream stop condition in practice ?
