I thought it is easier to write the patch I was thinking of than trying
to describe it in words. Maybe it was not the best idea, sorry about that.

Based on your description the following two lines could be separated:
  input_report_key(gspca_dev->input_dev, KEY_CAMERA, 1);
  input_report_key(gspca_dev->input_dev, KEY_CAMERA, 0);

The first line should go when we detect a 0->1 transient (button push),
the second one when there is an 1->0 transient (button release).

In case of pac7302 there was only one event at button push. So there was
a need to simulate push and release. The camera haven't sent anything
when the button was released.
