It was indeed a bug in v4l1-compat.c where a NULL pointer was passed 
instead of an argument. All other drivers did not use this parameter, 
but I at least tried to print it out when debugging messages were enabled.

Because of this, this bug was only visible when the saa7146 module was 
loaded with debugging enabled and an old v4l1 app tried to capture 
through v4l1 compat.
