Thats a fall positive there are a few hex coded tables in there, but those are 
either:
1) color curve lookup tables
2) A standard jpg file format header which gets added in front of the raw jpeg
   data returned by the cam
3) register initialization tables consisting of { reg_addr, value } pairs

So there is no code in in any of these tables, they all contain data in one 
form or the other, data which can be freely modified and thus this driver is 
100% free even by the most strictest standards.

I happen to know this driver quite well, which triggered me, but chances are 
quite big that you've many more false positives.
