Add the drivers for a MAC Book facetimehd camera

[ralphsc]

I would like to propose the the facetimehd drivers be added when installing on a MAC Book. Currently I have to run this script to install the drivers:

!/bin/bash

set -e

export CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n

export CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL=n

export KERNELRELEASE=${1}

echo "Installing FacetimeHD camera for $KERNELRELEASE" cd /tmp git clone https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie.git cd bcwc_pcie/ git clone https://github.com/patjak/facetimehd-firmware.git cd facetimehd-firmware/ make make install cd .. make make install rm -rf /tmp/bcwc_pcie

if [ ! -d "/etc/modules-load.d" ]; then mkdir -p "/etc/modules-load.d" fi

cat > "/etc/modules-load.d/facetimehd.conf" << EOL videobuf2-core videobuf2_v4l2 videobuf2-dma-sg facetimehd EOL

echo "Running depmod" depmod -a

echo "Install complete."

I can never get the my Macbook Pro 2017 camera to work with Cheese or the Camera app. It works with mplayer and Skype. Just tried your script still no luck.

The Camera app worked with other kernels but stopped working two kernels ago. The script does make the camera work on other apps like the ones you mentioned and also on HouseParty and Zoom.

Closing because we use the Ubuntu hardware enablement stack, so any requests for hardware support should be implemented upstream in Ubuntu
