Hi Alan,

I have been informed by the manufacturer that the patch currently in the v4l
tree to support the Genpix-CW3K version of the hardware will actually damage
the firmware on recent units. As he seems to not want this hardware
supported in Linux, and I do not know how to detect the difference between
affected and not-affected units, I am requesting the immediate removal of
support for this device. This patch removes a portion of the changeset
dce7e08ed2b1 applied 2007-08-18 relating to this specific device.

Finally I found the time to work on your patch. I adapted it to not remove
the code, but to put it under comments and #if 0's .
Like that we protect "normal" users and advanced users need to do some
efforts before getting in danger.
I hope it is OK with you.
regards,
Patrick.
