[linux-uvc-devel] Alcor Micro AU3823 Webcam

[Joe Z. <jrz...@gm...>]

The Webcam in my Samsung NP700G7C notebook is not being recognized, 
and no command displays any information relating to it.
ALL that I have been able to find out, from calling Samsung support in 
Thailand is the below information from page 10 of the Service Manual:

Camera
Type 2.0 FHD Web-Cam (interface : USB 2.0)
Chipset SC_20FHL11146M(MCNEX)
Image sensor .1/6” Color CMOS 2.0M FHD(1920X1080)

Additional googling it appears that an AU3823 UVC compliant chip is 
employed, but not being recognized.

Per the faq
1. First find out the vendor ID (VID) and product ID (PID) of your 
webcam.
  As best I can determine it SHOULD BE 058f:3823
2. Use the lsusb tool and look for video class interfaces like this: 
(In this example, the VID is 046d and the PID is 08cb.)
  $ lsusb
  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate 
Matching Hub
  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate 
Matching Hub
  Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
  Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  $lsusb -d 058f:3823 -v
  $
Essentially the above results are saying my Webcam is NOT UVC 
compliant, but...
googling tells me that IT IS, based on the Alcor Micro AU3823 chipset.

What more must I do to have my Webcam recognized and supported by UVC?
