If vimc module is removed while streaming is in progress, sensor subdev unregister runs into general protection fault when it tries to unregister media entities. This is a common subdev problem related to releasing pads from v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() before calling unregister. Unregister references pads during unregistering subdev. The sd release handler is the right place for releasing all sd resources including pads. The release handlers currently release all resources except the pads. Fix v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() not release pads and release pads from the sd_int_op release handlers. kernel: [ 4136.715839] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI kernel: [ 4136.715847] CPU: 2 PID: 1972 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.3.0-rc2+ #4 kernel: [ 4136.715850] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
