Hi Umang,

Thanks for your work.

First off, for this patch.

Reviewed-by: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund at ragnatech.se>

When testing this patch to discover how far hotplug support have come I 
noticed some issues. I'm not aware if you know about them or not so I 
will describe them here.

1. Error message printed from cam

   When I run cam --monitor and physically unplug and then replug a USB 
   UVC camera I get the following ERROR:

   $ cam --monitor

   * unplug camera *
   Camera Removed: Logitech Webcam C930e
   [465:45:06.515424906] [593092] ERROR V4L2 v4l2_videodevice.cpp:1117 /dev/video0[cap]: Unable to request 0 buffers: No such device

   * plug camera *
   Camera Added: Logitech Webcam C930e

   Would it be possible to not print the error when unplugging? I 
   understand the IOCTL can never succeed as the vidoe device is gone 
   but maybe we could avoid logging the error.

2. Qcam hits a delayed assert with hot-plug

   Once more the USB UVC camera is used.

   $ qcam
