The camera does not need a specific driver, it uses the generic USB Video driver. It is like a USB mouse or keyboard, you don't need a specific driver for every different one. Drivers/Multimedia/Media USB/USB Video Class (UVC) Kconfig USB_VIDEO_CLASS This support dates way back to around 2.4 or so.
