Appeases the warning "parport0 (bw-qcam): use data_reverse for this!"

It seems to work fine with my Quickcam under 2.6.22.

Just as an aside, if you've tested this and it works, then there's no
point to keep the write_lpcontrol even as a comment. Kill those four
lines, and if someone's interested in what happened they'll just look
at the file history.

Better, and do you have time for two (possibly stupid) questions? In
each of the last cases it looks like the transformation is from a
write_lpcontrol -> reverse_port and a write_lpcontrol (old address -
0x20). Except the first one, which merely has the reverse_port. One
would think that there should be a write_lpcontrol(q, 0x0); after that
one.

Also, is the reverse port sticky, or does it only apply to the next
write? If it's only the next, then maybe a different name would be
better. If it's sticky, then I think the code is wrong...

In response to Randy's and your questions, here's what I understand:

The error message comes from parport_pc_write_control in
include/linux/parport_pc.h, which is called by bw-qcam's
write_lpcontrol():

static __inline__ void parport_pc_write_control (struct parport *p,
unsigned char d)
{
const unsigned char wm = (PARPORT_CONTROL_STROBE |
PARPORT_CONTROL_AUTOFD |
PARPORT_CONTROL_INIT |
PARPORT_CONTROL_SELECT);

/* Take this out when drivers have adapted to newer interface. */
if (d & 0x20) {
printk (KERN_DEBUG "%s (%s): use data_reverse for this!\n",
p->name, p->cad->name);
parport_pc_data_reverse (p);
}

__parport_pc_frob_control (p, wm, d & wm);
}

The mask wm works out to 0x0f, so first it calls
parport_pc_data_reverse(), then masks off the high nibble with the
reverse flag and makes the regular call.

Looking at that more carefully, I'm not sure whether I need to add the
write_lpcontrol(q, 0) after the first call. Other than that, I believe
I'm following the same procedure.

As for whether data_reverse is sticky, I don't know... I'll see what I
can find out.

Fixes use of parport_write_control() to match the newer interface that
requires explicit parport_data_reverse() and parport_data_forward()
calls. This eliminates the following error message and restores the
original intended behavior:

parport0 (bw-qcam): use data_reverse for this!

Also increases threshold in qc_detect() from 300 to 400, as my camera
often results in a count of approx 330. Added a kernel error message
to indicate detection failure.

Thanks Ray and Randy for your comments, and for pointing out that I
needed to reset the port to forward mode!
