uvcvideo kernel module required in addition to v4l

A tip from Borja:
I write you again because finally i managed to have external webcam working on my device. I's not a v4l2 related problem. I's because samsung devices do not have uvcvideo module in their kernel. All new devices have v4l2 intalled in kernel but not uvcvideo.ko that is the driver (module) to get comunication between linux kernel and uvc compliant web camera.
I had to recompile a custom kernel to enable USB_VIDEO_CLASS option. With new kernel i have no problems to get frames from my camera with an app named dashcam. Now i'm going to test openxc/android-webcam to try get video in my app.
