I've had the same problem here trying to get it to run on 3.2 kernel Ubuntu 12.04. And new 3.4 and 3.5 kernels worked but I had other problems with stability so need this to build. Watch out with that -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration as it is not supported by gcc. The gcc documentation says there is no 'no-error' version of this warning option. So I'm not 100% sure how to turn these errors back into warnings. Anyway I have found another quick solution to the problems that worked for me. These are the steps I did: Load up a terminal windows and start the build as normal. (you may want to start with a fresh media build folders) git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git cd media_build ./build Then as soon as it starts building .o files load a second terminal window and do the following: cd media_build/v4l nano s5k4ecgx.c Now find the line with 'devm_regulator_bulk_get' function call and either comment or delete this line and the line below (it flows onto two lines) Save this change and wait for the build to complete as normal This is a very temp fix but it will at least let you build. If you run build again it will overwrite the s5k4ecgx.c file with the incompatible one. If it's not a simple change to suppress these errors then it might be better to either patch s5k4ecgx.c or somewhere else to detect the kernel version and not compile those lines or the whole module. Another option is to create a dummy function called 'devm_regulator_bulk_get' in a header somewhere. And another simple solution is to create a diff patch to change those lines and stick that in the backports folder and set this to run on kernel 3.3 and older.
