I took the USB-ID in question from the out of tree v4l1 driver I was basing my
st6422 work on. Looking at the other ID's (which are very close together) and
combining that with this bug report, I think it is safe to say that the USB-ID
in question should be removed from the stv06xx driver.

Erik will you handle this, or shall I ?
