[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.
