Well, it nearly was.
First I had to do a rmmod ov511 and rmmod ovcamchip

Then within the patched 2.28 driver directory:

make clean
make
make install

then modprobe ov511

and it works.

    Colin> BTW, I had to patch the driver.

I emailed my changes to the maintainer of the driver, but heard
nothing. Since the 2.28 sources are rather old (over a year), I guess
it is not under development.

So here is my patch against a 2.28 source tree:
