Do you want to put it into CVS at SF? Do you have developer's access?
I don't think so, you are not listed there.

No such camera here. You will get all the fun decoding :-)
You send commands to the camera in probe() routine. This is BAD, and
that's why I have flag "is_initialized" - to be tested in open() handler
and the init invoked. This is because of several reasons:
- initialization is LONG. During this time all other plug/unplug events on
the bus will not be handled (remember who calls probe()!)
- you _may_ need to initialize camera on each open() - or maybe sometimes,
if for example it loses its settings...
That's why I recommend to move initialization from probe() routine.
Cheers,
Dmitri
