This is not a driver for grabbing live video streams. The eXcite platform using
it is a smart camera running linux, and the driver is for a very special piece
of hardware designed into this camera. Its purpose is grabbing single image
frames for processing within the camera itself, which is quite different from
what the v4l2 API has been designed for.
