This kernel is way, way too old. If you provide a patch then you should
use the latest released kernel, or, even better, the master branch of the
media development git repository: http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_tree.git/

Also, bytesused only needs to be set for output buffers, never for capture
buffers: the driver will set bytesused when a frame is captured. So this
patch makes no sense.
