uvc-gadget causes 100% cpu when camera is idle [rpi-zero-w]

[dhensen]

(Just made this rpi zero HQ camera following your Youtube + this github together with my 5yo daughter. She is very happy, so thanks for that @geerlingguy for bundling this into an ansible playbook.)

Question: when I'm not using the camera (usb cable is connected to my computer, but not actively using the camera) I see 100% cpu usage mainly because of uvc-gadget. When I start using the camera the cpu usage drops to around 20%.

Any idea why this is so? I'm using a rpi Zero W if it matters.

Oh... I should have looked at upstream first before posting here. I just found this: https://github.com/wlhe/uvc-gadget/issues/1 I'm closing because it's not an issue for this project!
