So only 3 raw bayer + custom compression models supported by
sn9c102 are not supported by gspca_sonixb, and all jpeg models
are supported by gspca_sonixj. Porting the 3 remaining models
over should be relatively easy, but I (I more or less maintain
the sonixb driver) really need hardware access to ensure things
stay working.

Second correction, I was looking at an old tree and failed to
notice that the zc0301 driver has already bitten the dust
(good!).

Thank you for your very helpful answer.

Can you make a patch removing all the bogus usb IDs from these drivers?

I've managed to make some time to also sort out the sn9c1xx usb ids
situation.  I've just send a pull request which includes patches cleaning
things up. After this there are only 5 usb-ids left which will default to
sn9c102 when both are compiled in, and only 3 of those are not supported
by gspca.

So if we move the sn9c102 driver to staging we will loose support for
only 3 usb-ids. IOW I think it is time to move it to staging :)

Note I can write a patch to add untested support for these 3 to the
sonixb driver, given my experience with adding support for the hv7131d
based on the sn9c102 code, that should be doable. But it will be
completely untested :(

Regards,

Hans
