Thanks for your help. I pulled the code
Actually, now the function definition in compat.h causes a compilation
error: see first text below.
I fixed that by inserting
#include <linux/err.h>
at line 38 in compat.h in my local branch
After that, compilation succeeds.
Now, the device will not install, as dvb_usb cannot install anymore.
see second text below.
Therefore, I have replaced the __kmalloc_track_caller with kmalloc (as
it was in dvb_demux.c before the change 2ceef3d75547 at line 49
can you make both changes in the hg branch ?

On compiling with Linux 2.6.28-19-generic #62-Ubuntu
I now get:

This is probably due to changeset 2ceef3d75547
which introduced the use of this function:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/diff/2ceef3d75547/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_demux.c
This function is not available in linux/string.h in kernel 2.6.29 and lower.
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/linux/string.h?v=2.6.28
Could you please advise me on what to do ?
For this issue, I have fixed right now, please try again with a
updated repository. But since I have commited several patches
yesterday,
we have another one that probably will reach your compilantion (the
kfifo one). I will work to fix this one too.
Thanks for the report.
Cheers
Douglas
