Oh yes... I sent a small patch to the video4linux mailing list (which is 
part of the kernel) in April. In July I sent a corrected version (ok... 
that time difference was my problem) and yesterday it was finally queued 
for inclusion in 2.6.37.

But I wanted that patch in there, cause I wanted my device to work 
without manually patching around. So I waited and finally my wish was 
fulfilled :D
