There is no easy patch you can backport to fix this and I wouldn't bother with this.

Be aware that v4l2-compliance is meant to be compiled directly from the
v4l-utils master repo, and run against the latest media-tree master
repository. It's not meant to be backwards compatible with older kernels.

If you want to do regression testing with v4l2-compliance against older
kernels, then it would actually be better to pick a v4l2-compliance version
from around the time that kernel version was first released.
