video_device.

It's nice to see you considering lifetime management issues, but this isn't 
enough. The rvin_release() function accesses the rvin_dev structure, so you 
need to keep this around until all references to the video device have been 
dropped. This patch won't do so.

I would instead keep the video_device instance embedded in rvin_dev, and 
implement a custom release handler that will kfree() the rvin_dev instance. 
You will obviously need to replace devm_kzalloc() with kzalloc() to allocate 
the rvin_dev.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for your feedback.

I see your point, and it's a good catch I missed!

Would it not be simpler to remove the usage of the video device from 
rvin_release()? When I check the code the only usage of vin->vdev in 
paths from the rvin_release() is in relation to pm_runtime_* calls like:

pm_runtime_suspend(&vin->vdev->dev);
pm_runtime_disable(&vin->vdev->dev);

And those can just as easily (and probably should) be called like:

pm_runtime_suspend(&vin->dev);
pm_runtime_disable(&vin->dev);

I had plan to fix the usage of the PM calls at a later time when also 
addressing suspend/resume for this driver, but cleaning up the PM calls 
can just as easily be done now.

I think it's better to use the helper functions to manage the video 
device if its possible, do you agree with this?

You would still access the vin structure, so you need to refcount that one 
anyway. Refcounting of video_device then comes for free if you embed it in the 
vin structure. It's actually simpler to embed the video_device instance than 
managing its lifetime separately.

Only when it makes sense :-) The video_device_release_empty() and 
video_device_release() functions were bad idea, they completely circumvent 
lifetime management. We need to go in the other direction in the V4L2 core.
