uvcvideo (webcam) support for COMPAL JHL90 based laptops

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hi Amit,

I've noticed by sheer luck that the Ubuntu 8.10 linux-image-2.6.27-7 packages 
include a patch to the uvcvideo driver to support webcam modules integrated 
into Compal JHL90 laptops.

Is there a reason why the patch hasn't been pushed upstream ? Being the 
uvcvideo author and maintainer, I'd appreciate if you could forward patches 
related to the driver in the future.

On a pure technical note, the patch might not be required with the current 
uvcvideo driver version. There is no way to confirm this without testing the 
driver with that particular webcam model, so I'd appreciate if you could 
contact the patch author and check with him if his camera works with the 
latest uvcvideo driver (available from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/).

Best regards,

Laurent Pinchart
