Sure. Anyway, the easiest way to get everything working would be to
upgrade your kernel up to 2.4.22 and use my all-in-one, ready-to-apply
patch.

You're trying to do the wrong thing. This patch is intended for people
using recent bttv sources from outside the kernel. If you are using the
bttv driver from the Linux kernel, then you should use this one:
http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.4.22/linux-2.4.22-i2c-2.8.1-drivers-media-video.diff
or, if you are using i2c 2.8.0:
http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/devel/i2c/linux-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21-i2c-2.8.0-drivers-media-video.diff

That will fix all video drivers in your kernel tree, including bttv.
