USB: Firmware loader driver for USB Apple iSight camera
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.
