[PATCH v5 2/6] media: i2c: lm3560: Fix v4l2 subdev registration

From: Svyatoslav Ryhel

Date: Sun May 03 2026 - 12:46:18 EST


The existing driver does not call media subdev registration, making it
invisible to the media framework. Since the LM3560 supports two
independent LEDs, register each LED as a separate media entity.

Because registering LEDs before device initialization may cause access
attempts before the hardware is ready, lm3560_init_device has been moved
before the subdevice initializations.

An additional helper, lm3560_subdev_cleanup, was added to release LED0 if
the initialization of LED1 fails, and to deregister both LEDs in the
remove function.
