 > Daniel, I ported patch to rec2 but unfortunately I can't successfully
 compile mythtc-rec2 0.25pre-2043-g53a8591 to verify is my port correct (I
 believe issue is not related to v4l2 patch). I'm attaching patch and log
 from compilation. I'm compiling on fresh ArchLinux so maybe some sys libs
 are "too' new....

 Daniel, others and I discussed this patch a couple of weeks ago.  The main
 problem with it is that it treats v4l1 and v4l2 independently and allows
 for a v4l1 only configuration which we do not support.  The patch needs to
 be reworked so that it only supports v4l2 with or without v4l1.  IOW, v4l1
 support needs to be conditional on v4l2 being available.
