How to patch a kernel module
by theCapitain from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51TE8)
Hello,
I need to patch the kernel module: /lib/modules/4.4.217/kernel/drivers/media/usb/gspca/gspca_ov519.ko
using the source I've found here: github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/media/usb/gspca/ov519.c (that should add some tricks to support mi webcam).
Since I never did something like that, and I have no idea how to proceed, would someone be so kind as to show me the way step by step?
Thanks for helping.
