[RFC 1/2] media: Use a better owner for the media device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



mdev->fops->owner is actually the owner of the very same module which
implements media_device_register(), so it can't be unloaded anyway. Instead,
use THIS_MODULE through a macro as does video_register_device().
