Re: [PATCH] bw-qcam: use data_reverse instead of manually poking the control register

[Brett Warden]

Fixes use of parport_write_control() to match the newer interface that
requires explicit parport_data_reverse() and parport_data_forward()
calls. This eliminates the following error message and restores the
original intended behavior:

parport0 (bw-qcam): use data_reverse for this!

Also increases threshold in qc_detect() from 300 to 400, as my camera
often results in a count of approx 330. Added a kernel error message
to indicate detection failure.

Thanks Ray and Randy for your comments, and for pointing out that I
needed to reset the port to forward mode!
