v4l2_device_put() got introduced in commit
bedf8bcf6b4f90a6e31add3721a2e71877289381 ("v4l2-device: add kref and a release
function"). If I understand its purpose correctly, drivers that use a
v4l2_device instance should use the v4l2_device release callback to release
device structures instead of counting video_device release callbacks manually.
In that case I think the v4l2-dev.c code is correct, and all drivers that use
v4l2_device should be fixed.
The above patch fixes the problem in a central location, but seems to defeat
the original purpose of v4l2_device_get/put().
Hans, could you please comment on that ?
