This first four patches in this set disables drivers which cannot be compiled before a specific kernel revision.
To fix of_find_i2c_device_by_node|of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node in kernels 3.5 to 3.11.x the correct header is included. The frame_vector.c wildcard check also appears to be broken for me. The check is changed from using relative patch to absolute path, and verifying frame_vector.c is in the build dir (v4l/) instead of in the linux/ directory. Lastly, I have one new addition to contemplate. I maintain driver packages for a lot of different kernel revisions on a lot of different architectures and some times make_config_compat.pl incorrectly enables backport options which cause build failure. Instead of making the config check more complicated I propose creation and inclusion of an empty config-mycompat.h, after config-compat.h is included in compat.h, which would allow for overriding any options necessary due to symbols/macros/etc already existing in the target kernel. config-mycompat.h would be touched before make_config_compat.h is called and deleted during distclean, allowing a builder to copy any overrides into the header before starting the compilation process. This would allow usage of the media_build system without having to supply out of tree patches to correct the 'bad' options. If I somehow missed this functionality a pointer to it would be lovely.
