Sorry not to have spotted this sooner, but I don't like this one. Why do we 
need a specific kernel driver when a userspace tool (fxload) exists to 
perform the same task, especially when the tool handles udev integration 
nicely ? The Apple iSight uses an EZ-USB chipset. If we really want a kernel 
driver for that it should probably be made more generic to handle all 
EZ-USB-based devices.
