dvb v4l code break webcam drivers

I replaced my stock Linux V4l/dvb drivers with the versions from cvs on linuxtv.org whilst attempting to resolve problems with my Nova-T stick (a red herring as it happens). However what I've discovered since is that they argue quite badly with drivers for the 2 webcams I have (of course the webcam drivers themselves may be at fault here but I thought it worth pointing out....).

Replacing the linux kernel modules (2.6.26) resolves the problem and both these and the DVB side work.

here's the log from the snapshot I took 2 days ago:

this happens with the spca5xx webcam driver and the old Logitech quickcam express driver.
