H A Disight_firmware.c62d104d0deeabd4148e49eba729d963e740e205f Tue May 20 21:06:28 CEST 2008 Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> USB: Firmware loader driver for USB Apple iSight camera

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.
