Some information on this, from [1]:

    [media] V4L1 removal: Remove linux/videodev.h
    
    There's no sense on keeping it on 2.6.38, as nobody is using it
    anymore, at the kernel tree, and installing it at the userspace
    API.
    
    As two deprecated drivers still need it, move it to their internal
    directories.
