0.8.2 works with i2c*.o and videodev.o from the kernel. I successfully 
tried 2.2.19 (patched by i2c-2.5.5).
To obey the docs' warnings and to exclude further error sources it is
of course advisable to use the special versions from the ./driver
subdirectory for the present. But one should avoid in any case to mix up
both variants. See down...

Look for those *.c files in the ./driver subdir which say

  #include <linux/videodev.h>

among their first lines (videodev.c is one of them; use grep). Replace
these lines by

  #include "videodev.h"

It means: Include the file videodev.h from the current subdirectory, not
that one from the kernel source tree.
