May i ask help with this ?
Hans, should it be looks like:

?
Or in v4l2_open function i can check if vdev->fops->open == NULL before
video_get(vdev); (increasing the device refcount), and if it's NULL then
unlock_mutex and return 0 ?
And the same in v4l2_release - just return 0 in the begining of function
in case vdev->fops->release == NULL ?
What approach is better ?
