PATCH v2 1/1 libv4l: add an option for IR BPF based decoders

Bump to version 1.61.1 added BPF based protocols support:
https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/commit/?id=d6025b0e8c7f57b0f9390f987acc5eed57360d80

However, this dependency needs BPF support in kernel. On old kernels (before 3.18), __NR_BPF is not defined for all architectures. So retrieve upstream patch and add an option to enable BPF only if headers are above 3.18.

Also drop patch to add bpf_common.h on old kernels (not needed anymore)

Fixes:
- http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/442de57cb76a7b38d71d690490faadc641036374

---
Changes v1 -> v2 (after review of Peter Seiderer):
- Add an option to enable BPF if headers >= 3.18 instead of disabling it as it seems that risc-v support BPF
- Drop patch to add bpf_common.h

+It currently does not build on mips and some platforms do not have

So without clang, how are BPF protocols being built ?

So without clang, how are BPF protocols being built ?

Or split the patch into first disabling bpf support unconditionally, and second enabling bpf (with or without clang support)...and I think it is a matter of taste if bpf support without the clang generated files is justifiable (maybe special bpf files could be provided from external source etc.)....

This problem apparently went away with the bump to 1.16.2 (without needing to
give the --disable-bpf config argument) so I've marked this patch as Superseded.

Please respin if you think it is still needed.

Arnout
