    USB: Firmware loader driver for USB Apple iSight camera · 62d104d0
    Matthew Garrett authored
    Uninitialised Apple iSight drivers present with a distinctive USB ID.
    Once firmware has been uploaded, they disconnect and reconnect with a
    new ID. At this point they can be driven by the uvcvideo driver. As this
    is unique to the Apple cameras and not functionality shared by any other
    UVC devices, it makes sense to provide the firmware loading
    functionality in a separate driver. This driver will read an isight.fw
    file extracted from the Apple driver using the tools at
    http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/ and upload it to the camera. It will also
    handle the case where the device loses its firmware during hibernation
    and must have it reloaded.
