Research direction
No repository file, test, or entry point is identified. First determine whether mintreport owns the uvcvideo configuration or whether this belongs upstream, then reproduce the 09da:2690 camera errors with and without the workaround; done means the device works without manual uvcvideo options and dmesg is stable.

Description
On Linux Mint 22.3 (Kernel 6.17), the Redragon Live Camera (Sonix Technology) floods the dmesg with cannot get freq at ep 0x84 errors. [cite: 2026-02-13, 2026-02-19, 2026-03-06]
Hardware ID: 09da:2690 [cite: 2026-03-06]
Current Workaround: Adding options uvcvideo quirks=0x80 to /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf resolves the issue and stabilizes the device. [cite: 2026-03-06]
Request: Please include this quirk by default in future updates to improve out-of-the-box support for this webcam. [cite: 2026-03-06]
