Depending on that the v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() > call is or is not needed. v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() contains already necessary checks so it is safe to call it in i2c driver remove callback and currently this is a common practice - most drivers calls it unconditionally. Typical code of i2c_driver::remove in most media/i2c devices currently contains some variations of the following sequence: v4l2_device_unregister_subdev(sd); media_entity_cleanup(&sd->entity); v4l2_ctrl_handler_free(sd->ctrl_handler); Using devm_* initialization will allow to remove the sequence above from i2c_driver::remove callback, in many cases of existing drivers i2c_driver::remove could be removed completely.
