[PATCH] USB: drivers/usb/media/w9968cf.c: remove hooks for the vpp module 



- the w9968cf-vpp module is not intended for inclusion into the kernel
- the upstream w9968cf package shipping the w9968cf-vpp module suggests
  to simply replace the w9968cf module shipped with the kernel

Therefore, there seems to be no good reason spending some bytes of
kernel memory for hooks for the w9968cf-vpp module.

The driver is divided into two modules: the basic one, "w9968cf", is needed for

the supported devices to work; the second one, "w9968cf-vpp", is an optional

module, which provides some useful video post-processing functions like video

decoding, up-scaling and colour conversions. Once the driver is installed,

every time an application tries to open a recognized device, "w9968cf" checks

the presence of the "w9968cf-vpp" module and loads it automatically by default.

decoding, up-scaling and colour conversions.



Please keep in mind that official kernels do not include the second module for

performance purposes. However it is always recommended to download and install

the latest and complete release of the driver, replacing the existing one, if

present: it will be still even possible not to load the "w9968cf-vpp" module at

all, if you ever want to. Another important missing feature of the version in

the official Linux 2.4 kernels is the writeable /proc filesystem interface.

Note that the official kernels do neither include nor support the second

module for performance purposes. Therefore, it is always recommended to

download and install the latest and complete release of the driver,

replacing the existing one, if present.
