I read up on this a bit more, and I think this patch is bogus: drivers not
converted to the release() callback will indeed just crash, but that's no
different than many existing drivers, media or otherwise, when you forcibly
unbind them. It's broken today, and since you have to be root to unbind, I
would say that we can just leave it as-is rather than introducing a rather
ugly workaround. I don't think it will help anyway, since most likely
such drivers will also fails if the application has a video device open
when the device is unbound.

The way to fix it is converting driver to use the new release() callback.

Where this becomes really important is for usb devices which, by their
nature, are hotpluggable. So uvc at least should be converted to this,
I think.
