Usually adding support for a new device is a matter of adding an entry to
drivers/media/usb/em28xx/em28xx-cards.c.
Something like the EM2860_BOARD_TYPHOON_DVD_MAKER could be a starting point
since it seems very similar.
I'm assuming that the problem is that the device isn't recognized, but since
you don't actually say what the problem is I might be wrong...
