Re: [v4l-dvb-maintainer] Re: [PATCH] V4L: struct video_device corruption

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@infradead.org>]

Ok, I had some time to fix the broken dependencies. Please look at the
two commits I did today.

One patch removes HAVE_V4L1 check at drivers. It also include some
checks for V4L1_COMPAT on some core files that should implement both
calls to provide support for V4L1 drivers.

The other fixes the broken dependencies for drivers that still need V4L1
to work properly.

Cheers,
Mauro.
