Is this a USB-2.0 camera connected to a XHCI controller ?

And if yes, how old is this camera model ?

The reason why I'm asking this is because the EHCI USB-2.0 controller
interface causes a natural delay between consecutive ctrl commands queued
one by one till the start of the next USB frrame, so they get spaced
1 ms apart.

Where as the modern XHCI controller interface will put these back-to-back
on the USB bus. We've seen some issues with (older) USB devices before where
they needed some delay because they were originally only validated with
EHCI controllers and the hw/ff assumes it will get some "breathing space"
between control messages.

Regards,

Hans
