Hi Kyle,
Looking at the v4l library from Hans de Goede, I did not find the
decoding of the MR97310A images. May you send him a patch for that?
Yes, I sent this to him some time ago. Take a look here:

I have several cameras with this chipset in them; they are supported in
libgphoto2 under camlibs/mars. Therefore, I was very interested when I
found this driver, which was based upon the old Aiptek Pencam VGA+
0x08ca:0x0111. I can confirm that my Aiptek Pencam VGA+ also works. I also
tried out some other cameras, thinking that their USB Vendor:Product IDs
should be added. I met only mixed success with them.
1. 0x093a:0x010f cameras: I own three of them. Only one of the three will
stream. The other two will not. The streaming fails at a very early stage,
due to a USB error. Since one of them does work, should this ID be added?
Pro: It works quite nicely. Con: The other cameras with the same USB
Vendor:Product number do not work at all.
2. 0x93a:0x010e cameras: All of them will emit some kind of stream, but
the output is not viewable, coming up instead as nonsense. I am somewhat
nonplussed by this, in view of the fact that all of these cameras but one
use the same decompression algorithm as the Aiptek. The one which uses a
different decompression algorithm is not supported in libgphoto2, either.
It is one of the 0x093a:0x010f cameras.
