I don't really see the purpose of this patch: if this driver is loaded
by a platform driver (such as pxa_camera), then the module count should be
1 and it isn't possible to unload.

So you shouldn't need this patch. Am I missing something?

No other driver in drivers/media/i2c does something like this.
