     Hello,

     the first step is to find the exact ASIC used in your scanner. Can 
you post an USB log of a preview done with the windows driver ? And also 
the result of lsusb -v ? Is there a chance you can IC through the glass 
when the scanning head is moving ?
     Then adding this scanner will be like you started it, but you'll 
also have to add specific entries for sensor, motor and gpio which 
change from device to device. The needed values will have to be deduced 
from USB logs. The code path will had to be modified for the new defines.
     BTW there is no CCD sensor support currently in gl847 code, only 
CIS sensors are handled. That would need to be changed firt.

Regards,
     Stef
