[Bug 190450] Re: Can't compile ov51x-jpeg on hardy

** Summary changed:

- Can't compile ov511-source on hardy
+ Can't compile ov51x-jpeg on hardy

** Description changed:

+ Impact: Unable to compile the ov51x-jpeg package against the default
+ hardy kernel.
+ 
+ Fix in Intrepid: The fix is cherry-picked from a new upstream version that has already
+ been synced from Debian.
+ 
+ Fix: A debdiff is attached to the bug report.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+   1. Install the current ov51x-jpeg-source package.
+   2. Attempt to compile it against a .24 kernel (default in hardy)
+       using module-assistant (m-a build ov51x-jpeg). It should fail with a compile error.
+   3. Install the fixed ov51x-jpeg-source package from -proposed.
+   4. Attempt the build again, it should finish without error. 
+ 
+ Regression potential: Low: simple ifdef for symbols that have been removed in later kernels.
+ Fix is taken from upstream.
+
