Hello Richard

It is part of a driver for a camera at qtec.com .
The policy so far has been that we offer the code to our clients but we cannot afford to push all the drivers to upstream, not because we don't want to, but because it is very time consuming and we are constantly improving the devices. Once there is a higher number of cameras on the field, I am pretty sure that there will be a group of people just pushing the drivers upstream.
What we can afford now is trying to push the changes/improvement that we do the infrastructures, hoping that it will be useful for somebody else.
So in the short term there will be no driver using the function but if we had that need I guess there is somebody else needing it.
Regards!
