You mean it didn't print anything?

There are no configuration files involved.

The root cause is that the ivtv driver was compiled for a different
kernel than the one you are using now.
The symbol i2c_bit_add_bus is in i2c_algo_bit.ko, check the module info
on these two modules:
# modinfo i2c_algo_bit
# modinfo ivtv
The vermagic lines will probably differ.

Solutions to the problem:
 1. Put the old kernel back that used to work with the ivtv module.
 2. Recompile the ivtv module with the new kernel.
