I think you might want to take a look to media_build:

http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers

This allows latest drivers to be built against old kernels.

A "backward-compatible" solution for stk1160 wouldn't be accepted mainline,
but feel free to use (in a personal fashion)
your patched driver and/or ask me to review your patch.

Unfortunately, you'll have to patch yourself each time I release a new
driver version,
so you may wan to try media_build as I previously suggested.

Hope this helps,
Ezequiel.
