From b2a06aecb24329e16edc3108b8192d65ace8da75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sakari Ailus Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 09:36:46 -0300 Subject: [media] v4l: Only get module if it's different than the driver for v4l2_dev When the sub-device is registered, increment the use count of the sub-device owner only if it's different from the owner of the driver for the media device. This avoids increasing the use count by the module itself and thus making it possible to unload it when it's not in use.
