Sorry please ignore.
We can't free vi during v4l2 device release as when no device nodes are
opened, vi free happens right away during host1x_video_remove.
With this tegra-video driver unbind ->bind will not work as vi memory
allocated during vi_probe gets freed during v4l2 device release so
during bind init() callback execution will crash as vi got freed while
vi driver is still bound to device.
Will wait for Hans/Thierry comments as I see dependency depending on
where unbind/bind happens.

With minor change of not using vi reference after
host1x_client_unregister and freeing vi during v4l2 device release works.
For csi, we can use devm_kzalloc for now untill we decide later if we
want to expose async subdev nodes during sensor support.
Will have this fix in v8 with a comment in vi_remove to make sure not
to use vi reference after host1x_client_unregister.
Will test more and will release v8 with above fix to allow direct
host1x client driver unbind.
Thanks

Have you tried to test this driver under KASAN? I suspect that
you just
masked the problem, instead of fixing it.
Tested with kmemleak scan and did not see any memory leaks
You should get use-after-free and not memleak.
I don't see use-after-free bugs during the testing.
But as mentioned when direct vi/csi client driver unbind happens
while video device node is kept opened, vi driver remove will free vi
structure memory but actual video device memory which is part of
channels remains but list head gets lost when vi structure is freed.
So, when device node is released and executes release callback as
list head is lost it can't free allocated channels which is not good.
This happens only with direct host1x client vi/csi driver unbind.
Need to find better place to free host1x client driver data structure
to allow direct client driver unbind->bind.
