devm_ allocated memory is freed after disconnect, so I doubt this will help, or at
best it will just move the problem elsewhere.
The right approach would be to use the release() callback from struct v4l2_device:
that's called when the very last open filehandle is closed.
But I'm not sure if it is worth the effort. The usbvision driver is a mess and
personally I think it should be deprecated.
