This patch series includes fixes for several issues found during testing all exynos4-is device drivers build as modules. The exynos4-is build with all sub-drivers as 'M' is hopefully now free of all serious issues, but one. I.e. the requirement now is to have all sub-device drivers, including the sensor subdev drivers, built as modules. The problem when some of the sub-device drivers is statically linked is that the media links of a media entity just unregistered from the media device are not fully cleaned up in the media controller API. This means other entities can have dangling pointers to the links array owned by en entity just removed and freed. The problem is not existent when all media entites are registered/unregistred together. In such a case it doesn't hurt that media_entity_cleanup() function just frees the links array. I will post a separate RFC patch to address this issue, since it is not trivial where the link references should be removed from all involved media entities. I verified that adding a call to media_entity_remove_links() as in patch [1] to the v4l2_sdubdev_unregister_function() eliminates all weird crashes present before, when inserting/removing all the host driver modules while the sensor driver stays loaded.
