From: Tommi Franttila <tommi.franttila@xxxxxxxxx> When a V4L2 sub-device backed by a DT or ACPI based device was removed, the device was unregistered as well which certainly was not intentional, as the client device would not be re-created by simply reinstating the V4L2 sub-device (indeed the device would have to be there first!). Skip unregistering the device in case it has non-NULL of_node or fwnode.
