From: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 89b14485caa4b7b2eaf70be0064f0978e68ebeee ] The csc/scaler device private struct is released by ipu_csc_scaler_video_device_release(), which can be called by video_unregister_device() if there are no users of the underlying struct video device. Therefore, the mutex can't be held when calling video_unregister_device() as its memory may be freed by it, leading to a kernel oops. Fortunately, the fix is quite simple as no locking is needed when calling video_unregister_device(): v4l2-core already has its own internal locking, and the structures are also properly refcounted.
