2 * Driver for loading USB isight firmware
6 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it

10 * The USB isight cameras in recent Apples are roughly compatible with the USB
11 * video class specification, and can be driven by uvcvideo. However, they
12 * need firmware to be loaded beforehand. After firmware loading, the device
13 * detaches from the USB bus and reattaches with a new device ID. It can then
14 * be claimed by the uvc driver.
16 * The firmware is non-free and must be extracted by the user. Tools to do this
17 * are available at http://bersace03.free.fr/ift/
19 * The isight firmware loading was reverse engineered by Johannes Berg
