When subdev registration fails the subdev v4l2_dev field is left to a
non-NULL value. Later calls to v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() will
consider the subdev as registered and will module_put() the subdev
module without any matching module_get().

Fix this by setting the subdev v4l2_dev field to NULL in
v4l2_device_register_subdev() when the function fails.

I'm just wondering whether including this patch in stable kernel releases
could potentially break anything.

Thank you.

I don't think it would, the patch only touches error paths, and clearly fixes 
a bug. So

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

looks like a good idea.
