Er, excuse my baffledness, but how do you plan to get code merged into the kernel if it isn't GPL? Also, mind that the GPL being viral means that any code which bases on GPL sources must be GPL (or GPL compatible) as well. Afaik, the MPL is not GPL compatible, so if you put your new code exclusively under the MPL and at the same time use the GPL-licensed v4l-dvb maincode as a base, you are violating the GPL. I am not a lawyer, of course.
