[PATCH] pac_common: redesign function for finding Start Of Frame

[NÃmeth MÃrton]

From: MÃrton NÃmeth <nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The original implementation of pac_find_sof() does not always find
the Start Of Frame (SOF) marker. Replace it with a state machine
based design.

The change was tested with Labtec Webcam 2200.
