I think the most easiest way could be compile & install whole Kernel 
from my tree. It is 3.10-rc4 + some fixes.

media_build.git has also option to fetch developer git tree from 
linuxtv.org. Something like ./build --git 
git://linuxtv.org/anttip/media_tree.git rtl28xxu . That approach seem to 
be not documented on wiki:
