I find it helpful to be able to build the linux-media modules for a kernel other than the one I am currently running. This is a resend of the patch that in two previous attempts made it into patchwork but the text was line-wrapped. Those patches should be dropped. https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/59979/ https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/60186/ There are no differences in the patch, just the submission email. Apologies for all the noise.
