Seems Driver source is primarily for m5603 sensor ->ov9650 ??....m5602
is lagging -> ov9653 NOT in source from SVN.
What I find odd is the source has m5602_ov9650.c  and yet web info
implies m5602 would use m5602_ov9653.c.

I sent what I found to http://www.actiongames.co.uk/m560x/forum/  it is
a Project to create or obtain a working linux driver for the Ali M5603
webcam chipset.

Too Bad.... I will need to remain dual boot until this is fixed... it is
a great WebCam
