Did you also look at the bunch of patches at the start of the thread?
http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-May/010195.html

They have stuff like:

diff -r e9383e768f51 -r 40ba20975e81 linux/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/konicawc.c

 #include <linux/input.h>
+#define V4LCOMPAT_USB_INPUT	/* Include usb_input code in compat.h */
+#include "compat.h"
+#if !defined(V4LCOMPAT_NO_USB_INPUT)
 #include <linux/usb_input.h>
+#endif


I think the mutex patch is large but fairly uncontroversial, but
for this stuff I don't know...
