Sorry about being not so active in this area :( - I've got busy with
some many other issue :( I've also fairly limited access to windows
machine - thus I would really need you 'chat/personal/ help Antti for
this - If you are willing to spend couple hours on this - I'd gladly
help - but for me the logic behind  V4L devices seems to be quite
complicated to get it learned within short time - i.e. I have no sharp
idea - how each sub controllers are connected together and how could I
achieve the similar USB command order.

If we could arrange some time window to work on this - I'll try to do
it - though it must be late night hours.
