I got a small but relevant bug at uvc Makefile.

If you decide to apply it, please merge those two patches:

   - USB Video Class driver
   - uvc: Fix compilation breakage for the other drivers, if uvc is selected

So, please pull from:
        ssh://master.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/v4l-dvb.git master
