thl,
  I got information from gspca author 
Why Module is not in mainstream kernel and when it will be in kernel?
==>From the first times we have to deal with jpeg hardware, video jpeg (raw
jpeg) is not human readable. For some reason kernel people, did not want to play
with video decoding in the kernel. That is why, spca50x, spca5xx and now gspca
is outside the kernel tree. Now somethings have changed(with change of userspace
applications need to understand what a video compressor is) with v4l2, we can
forward the raw video to userspace, so maybe one day gspca will go in
the kernel.

what you think about this information? Is this sufficient or need more? Its
clear now that gspca will be coming in future releases of upstream kernel.
