[PATCH v2 0/3] media: vimc: release vimc in release cb of v4l2_device

[Dafna Hirschfeld <dafna.hirschfeld@collabora.com>]

This patchset solves a crash that happens when unbinding the vimc
device while it is streaming. Currently when the device is unbounded
the vimc entities are released immediately, this cause a crash
if the streaming thread or the capture device dereference them
after the release. The patchset solves this by deferring the release
to the release callback of v4l2_device. This ensures that
the vimc entities will be released after the last fh is closed
and so the streaming terminates before.

- The first patch replaces the usage of vimc_device.pdev.dev
with vimc.mdev.dev
- The second patch allocates the vimc_device dynamically.
This is needed since the release of the device is deferred
and might run after the device is initialized again.
- The third patch moves the release of the vimc_device
and all the vimc entities to the release callback of
v4l2_device.

Changes from v1:
v1 solved it by adding refcount to each entity.
(patch "media: vimc: crash fix - add refcount to vimc entities")
v2 is different solution due to comments from Hans Verkuil

Dafna Hirschfeld (3):
  media: vimc: replace vimc->pdev.dev with vimc->mdev.dev
  media: vimc: allocate vimc_device dynamically
  media: vimc: crash fix - release vimc in the v4l_device release
