Hi Patrice and Theodore,

Here are somme comments about Patrice's patch.

It is not a good idea to use mdelay(): it is a loop. Better use
msleep().

The webcam (encoding) quality and the jpeg (decoding) quality must be
the same. Then, looking carefully, jpegquality is not used!

You should use the new control mechanism (see stk014, sonixj, zc3xx...).

The JPEG quality must be get/set by the VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP /
VIDIOC_S_JPEGCOMP ioctl's.

These values redefine V4L2_CID_SATURATION and V4L2_CID_HUE (user_base +
4 is no more defined). You should use V4L2_CID_RED_BALANCE,
V4L2_CID_BLUE_BALANCE and V4L2_CID_GAIN to set these controls.

Don't use magic values ('9').

See above.

BTW, Theodore, as there is no USB command in the loop, there is no need
to have a work queue (look at the SENSOR_OV772x in ov534).

Best regards.
