Worse: It is based at video_decoder.h, with, by turn, are based on V4L1
API. Both are obsolete, and marked to be removed from kernel, as stated
at Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt:

What:   Video4Linux API 1 ioctls and video_decoder.h from Video devices.
When:   July 2006
Why:    V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to
2.6
        series. The old API have lots of drawbacks and don't provide
enough
        means to work with all video and audio standards. The newer API
is
        already available on the main drivers and should be used
instead.
        Newer drivers should use v4l_compat_translate_ioctl function to
handle
        old calls, replacing to newer ones.
        Decoder iocts are using internally to allow video drivers to
        communicate with video decoders. This should also be improved to
allow
        V4L2 calls being translated into compatible internal ioctls.
Who:    Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab (at) brturbo.com.br>

Please convert it to V4L2 and VIDIOC_INT ioctls, as defined at:
include/media/v4l2-common.h
include/linux/videodev2.h
