[media] v4l2-device: add kref and a release function
The video_device struct has proper ref counting and its release function will be called when the last user releases it. But no such support was available for struct v4l2_device. This made it hard to determine when a USB driver can release the device if it has multiple device nodes. With one device node it is easy of course, since when the device node is released, the whole device can be released. This patch adds refcounting to v4l2_device. When registering device nodes the v4l2_device refcount will be increased, when releasing device nodes it will be decreased. The (optional) release function will be called when the last device node was released. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
