There is no driver for the Broadcom 1570 webcam so we need to write one. I've been working on this for a while but it's a lot of work. The Webcam is basically a SoC sitting on the PCIe bus. So we need to boot the SoC with some firmware and then figure out how to talk to it. I'm currently fiddling with the DRAM timings.
