Alan patched -ac tree to include latest CVS versions of IBM camera
drivers (both IBM PC Camera and UltraPort camera). This is a Good Thing
(tm) because these are stable drivers. The ibmcam.c file is basically
rewritten from scratch, that explains huge number of changes.
Now the -ac2 patch represents the latest and greatest in IBM Camera
technology :-) - though I don't know if it works, need to test that.
I think these patches will be merged into Linus's tree automagically,
like it happened in 2.4.10 cycle with usbvideo code - when Alan ships
mega-patches to Linus. There is no point in races of identical patches,
unless one wants to see if one reverses another :-)
I have one minor patch outstanding, though (hotplugging fix). It should
be one line change in ibmcam.c and ultracam.c files - when it is ready.
Thanks,
Dmitri
