[ Upstream commit ece41454c6a5ed8f301ef1c37710ab222e577823 ] The streaming object is a key part of handling the UVC device. Although not critical, we are currently missing a call to destroy the mutex on clean up paths, and we are due to extend the objects complexity in the near future. Facilitate easy management of a stream object by creating a pair of functions to handle creating and destroying the allocation. The new uvc_stream_delete() function also performs the missing mutex_destroy() operation. Previously a failed streaming object allocation would cause uvc_parse_streaming() to return -EINVAL, which is inappropriate. If the constructor failes, we will instead return -ENOMEM. While we're here, fix the trivial spelling error in the function banner of uvc_delete().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
