I've update the SRCINFO just in case, please retry.

The bcwc-pcie-git works well, but bcwc-pcie-dkms ends with this error:

:: bcwc-pcie-dkms package(s) failed to install. Check .SRCINFO for mismatching data with PKGBUILD.

Installed it through yaourt in macbook air early 2015 model with facetime 720p HD webcam. Worked great till now.

Anyone that's having issues getting this to compile on 4.8 branches, use this PKGBUILD and patch until the pull request I generated the diff from is merged (tested and confirmed on linux-macbook kernel 4.8.1):

PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/tonylambiris/cc215849f8c1467d88b7d1ddda78546a

For those who need this in 4.8 (if it will not be merged for awhile):

PKGBUILD updated.

This package is great, but it lacks support for custom kernel builds. Please consider this patch: (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Compile_kernel_module#Module_installation there is an easy way to get the extra modules path)

bcwc-pcie-git package also gives following error:

Direct firmware load for facetimehd/1871_01XX.dat failed with error -2

but unlike bcwc-pcie-dkms, it works fine.
