1: There is no reason for this after v4l2_event_unsubscribe releases the spinlock nothing is holding a reference to the sev anymore except for the local reference in the v4l2_event_unsubscribe function. 2: Setting sev->fh to NULL causes problems for the del op added in the next patch of this series, since this op needs a way to get to its own data structures, and typically this will be done by using container_of on an embedded v4l2_fh struct.
