Most media functions that unregister, check if the corresponding register
function succeed before. So these functions can safely be called even if a
registration was never made or the component as already been unregistered.

Add the same check to media_device_unregister() function for consistency.

This will also allow to split the media_device_register() function in an
initialization and registration functions without the need to change the
generic cleanup functions and error code paths for all the media drivers.

This is a good check, however, this check will not prevent
media_device_unregister() from getting run twice by two
different drivers. i.e media_devnode gets unregistered
towards the end of at the end of media_device_unregister().

In an example case, if bridge driver and snd-usb-aduio both
call media_device_unregister(), this check won't help prevent
media_device_unregister() being done only once. I think we
need a different state variable in struct media_device
to ensure unregister is done only once.

True. We need move the spin_lock() code to be called before
calling media_device_is_registered().

I'm sending such patches.

Thanks for reporting it.

I see, the check in $SUBJECT was to avoid each driver to have a similar
check for cleanup in its error path but I didn't take into account the
fact that two drivers may share the same struct media_device, as you
explained to me is the case for ALSA and V4L2 MC integration.
