    [media] uvcvideo: quirk PROBE_DEF for Alienware X51 / OmniVision webcam


== Impact ==

This model-specific quirk allows the webcam to work on an Alienware X51. 

Some models of OmniVision webcam need a pre-existing quirk in order to avoid a condition which prevents the driver from recognizing the camera.

== Test Case ==

A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
