[PATCH v3] usb: gadget: uvc: clean up comments and styling in video_pump

From: Avichal Rakesh
Date: Fri Jun 02 2023 - 18:05:22 EST


This patch elaborates on some of the edge cases handled by
video_pump around setting no_interrupt flag, and brings the
code style in line with rest of the file.

Changelog:
v2:
- Updated commit message to make it clear that userspace application is not
required to match the ISOC rate.
- Styling and comment revision based on review
v3:
- Rebased on to Greg's usb-next where v1 had already merged
- Updated commit message to match the actual changes after rebase.
