With the risk or repeating myself a couple of times, I have no
idea what was built with meson, when using the version from
your repository:

	git://linuxtv.org/pinchartl/v4l-utils.git meson

(which btw seems to have some patches that are different
from the 5 ones you submitted) 

as it doesn't provide anything similar to what current 
autotools-based support provides:

$ ./configure
...
