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.

Don't you think it is enough to put a Kconfig option to activate the 
USB-IDs (by default: off) rather than throwing everything away?

Patrick.
