Please try to not use first person sentences in commit log. Also, it
would be good to explain why the current patch 0004 is removed.

These patches are not just trivial build fixes. I'd like to see them be
submitted upstream. I suggest that you send them to Mauro + the
linux-media kernel mailing list in Cc, with some patch prefix such as
[PATCH zbar] so that it is clear to what project they apply.

Thanks,

Thomas
