Do you have a driver written already for this?  What is the interface to
the device?  If this can this use the v4l layer to get the color channel
information out to userspace?

Or is this needed to be done in the kernel at all, lots of color sensors
are driven by libusb today, like the one on my desk at the moment, no
kernel changes needed at all.
