Hello Nicolau,

Your code seems fine. To create a patch, just go to the linux tree
root, make a 'diff -u' from the original file to your new t613.c, edit
it, at the head, add a comment and a 'Signed-off-by: <your email>', and
submit to the mailing-list with subject '[PATCH] gspca - t613: Add new
sensor lt168g'.

BTW, as you know the name of your sensor, do you know the real name of
the sensor '0x803' ('other')? (it should be in some xxx.ini file in a
ms-win driver, but I could not find it - the table n4_other of t613.c
should be a table 'Regxxx' in the xx.ini)

Best regards.
