Because iSight cameras are not UVC devices. They implement part of the UVC 
spec but use a different streaming format. There are also some differences in 
the USB descriptors.

I can't apply the patch as-is. It must be ported to the SVN head first, and 
some hardcoded assumptions must be removed. If someone wants to do the job, 
and if we can find a way to integrate the patch without disturbing too much 
the driver (other UVC devices must still work :-) ), I could apply it.
