That sounds like it will add a mess of #if's.  How about this?


Now CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT will only be used in the kernel.

No, this will still give warnings.

Please run 'make headers_check'

You could #define another conditional, like this:

#ifndef __KERNEL__
# define __V4L1_COMPAT_API /* Always provide definitions to user space */
#else /* __KERNEL__ */
# ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT
#  define __V4L1_COMPAT_API
# endif /* CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT /*
#endif /* __KERNEL__ */

I see what the real problem is now, the unifdef program isn't smart enough
to realize that it knows the result of !defined(__KERNEL__) || defined(FOO)
and so it keeps those ifdefs in when it should be able to remove them.

This works too:

#ifndef __KERNEL__
# define __V4L1_COMPAT_API /* Always provide definitions to user space */
#elif defined(CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT) /* __KERNEL__ */
# define __V4L1_COMPAT_API
#endif /* CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT */
