libv4l1 comes to mind:

"This offers functions like v4l1_open, v4l1_ioctl, etc. which can by
used to quickly make v4l1 applications work with v4l2 devices. These
functions work exactly like the normal open/close/etc, except that libv4l1
does full emulation of the v4l1 api on top of v4l2 drivers, in case of
v4l1 drivers it will just pass calls through."

Best regards,
