True, but, with the exception of v4l2_chip_match_host(), all the others have
struct i2c_client as an argument. I can't see any valid usage where someone would
fill this struct when i2c is not supported.

I'm committing right now a patch that should properly fix the regression. I've
checked it with -git tree and seems to work properly to me.

The Kconfig changes become this way:

          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
          module will be called videodev.

+       default (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV

The "depends on" clause is equal to default. Probably, it can be safely
removed, but this way seems clearer to my eyes.

Based on my tests, it seems that "depends on" only works fine for values that
are prompted. If the value is not prompted, it just uses whatever declared on
"default".

I'll push the complete changeset to -hg and my -git tree (at devel branch).

Cheers,
Mauro.
