Two more comments:

- You can drop the desc field from struct bdisp_format: a patch was merged in
  media_tree.git that sets the VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT description in the v4l2 core,
  so it can be dropped from drivers.

- I noticed that you call video_device_release, but you shouldn't since struct
  video_device is embedded in a larger struct. video_device_release attempts
  to kfree the video_device, which obviously is wrong. Just remove that call.
