[PATCH] Firmware loader driver for USB Apple iSight camera

[Matthew Garrett]

Uninitialised Apple iSight drivers present with a distinctive USB ID. 
Once firmware has been uploaded, they disconnect and reconnect with a 
new ID. At this point they can be driven by the uvcvideo driver. As this 
is unique to the Apple cameras and not functionality shared by any other 
UVC devices, it makes sense to provide the firmware loading 
functionality in a separate driver. This driver will read an isight.fw 
file extracted from the Apple driver using the tools at 
http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/ and upload it to the camera. It will also 
handle the case where the device loses its firmware during hibernation 
and must have it reloaded.

I think this is a cleaner solution than adding support for the firmware 
loading directly to the uvcvideo driver, and doing it as a driver rather 
than a set of userspace callouts simplifies the suspend/resume case. The 
required firmware is, sadly, non-free and undistributable.
