Nice trick. I'm pretty sure other users might be interested in this.
Could you please send me the output of lsusb -v (using usbutils 0.72 or
newer) ? Thanks.

The crash is caused by a bug in the v4l1 compat layer. I raised the issue on
the video4linux mailing list.

This error is pretty normal. Most devices don't implement that function, and
the driver can work around this.

Here's the offending v4l1 compat code (drivers/media/video/v4l1_compat.c).
static int
get_v4l_control(struct inode *inode,
struct file *file,
int cid,
v4l2_kioctl drv)
{
struct v4l2_queryctrl qctrl2;
struct v4l2_control ctrl2;
int err;
qctrl2.id = cid;
err = drv(inode, file, VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, &qctrl2);
if (err < 0)
dprintk("VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL: %d\n",err);
if (err == 0 &&
!(qctrl2.flags & V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED))
{
ctrl2.id = qctrl2.id;
err = drv(inode, file, VIDIOC_G_CTRL, &ctrl2);
if (err < 0) {
dprintk("VIDIOC_G_CTRL: %d\n",err);
return 0;
}
return ((ctrl2.value - qctrl2.minimum) * 65535
+ (qctrl2.maximum - qctrl2.minimum) / 2)
/ (qctrl2.maximum - qctrl2.minimum);
}
return 0;
}
When qctrl2.maximum equals qctrl2.minimum the code will divide by zero and
crash.
