In fact there has been no updates to the v4l-dvb tree at all since
May 11.  Mauro?

I have reverted the patch that caused the build breakage ... (commit
d5bc7940d39649210f1affac1fa32f253cc45a81 "V4L/DVB (11673): v4l2-device:
unregister i2c_clients when unregistering the v4l2_device").

[By the way, an alternative fix might be to just define
V4L2_SUBDEV_FL_IS_I2C to be zero if CONFIG_I2C and CONFIG_I2C_MODULE are
not defined (gcc should then just elide the offending code).]
