Sorry, I messed up: please ignore that "fix". The 0day robot made me realize this is indeed not a proper fix. The issue remains, though: we cannot call video_device_release() on the vdev structure member, as this will in turn call kfree(). Most probably, vdev needs to be dynamically allocated, or the call to video_device_release() dropped completely. Sorry for the bad patch. Best regards, Vincent.

There are known problems with embedded video_device structs, so allocating it is preferred. Minghsiu, can you do that?

video_device_release() takes a pointer to struct video_device as argument. Fix two call sites where the address of the pointer is passed instead.
