Maybe the better is if one of you that use Ubuntu to write a patch checking for the affected Ubuntu versions, and automatically disabling the compilation of this module, or doing some changes on compat.h to properly compile it. All it is needed is to patch one of some of those files: v4l/scripts/make_kconfig.pl (for the logic to disable it on Ubuntu) /v4l/compat.h (if is there some compat stuff that can be added) /v4l/scripts/make_config_compat.pl (for a most sophisticated logic based on some script) After having the patch done, just submit it to Douglas.
