Luckily there is already `drivers/media/usb/gspca/kinect.c` but it has some errors (like reporting invalid frame rates for color data) and design flaws that makes it impossible to stream depth and color data from a single device at the same time. I already got a new user space driver working in rust and would like to upstream it to the kernel to replace the older kinect driver written in C.
