Hello I'm one of the developers for the current out of tree sn9c20x driver.  What needs to be done in order
to get the sn9c20x code into the mainline? Am i right in assuming it would be preferred to move the code into 
a sn9c20x gspca subdriver rather then include the complete out of tree driver? If this is the case I can work
on a set of patches to implement our code as a gspca subdriver.

Also i have a few questions regarding submitting the patches.

1) In addition to sending them to linux-media should I CC them to anyone in particular?
2) The entire patch would likely be about 70k. Should I just send one patch or split the
thing up into several?

Thanks,
Brian
