I take it the input.h and uinput.h you included in the v4l_compat update
also contain these fixes?

I merged the patch and the new headers in the tarball. I also updated
libv4l to 0.8.4.

I poked it a bit than this is what I came up with.
This will build with clang, and will build on 7.x. Although some small
fixes are more personal preference.

I haven't really tested the utils either but the v4l2-ctl util option
--list-formats (--list-formats-ext) is really nice to see what the
webcam supports.
