I'm c/c Greg here, as I don't think, that, the way it is, it
belongs at V4L2 core.

I mean: if this is a problem that affects all drivers, it would should, 
instead, be sitting at the driver's core.

If, otherwise, this is specific to rcar-vin (and other platform drivers),
that's likely should be inside the drivers that require it.

That's said, I remember we had to add some things in the past for
USB drivers hot unplug to happen softly. I don't remember the specifics
anymore, but it was solved by both a V4L2 core and changes at USB
drivers.

One of the things that it was added, on that time, was this patch:

	commit ae6cfaace120f4330715b56265ce0e4a710e1276
	Author: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xxxxxxxxx>
	Date:   Sat Mar 14 08:28:45 2009 -0300

	    V4L/DVB (11044): v4l2-device: add v4l2_device_disconnect

So, I would expect that a change at V4L2 core (or at driver core) that
would be applied would also be affecting USB drivers disconnect logic
and v4l2_device_disconnect() function.
