>From the analysis of rga_probe and rga_remove function, the init and
cleanup functions are in pairs as follows:

        pm_runtime_enable(rga->dev);

        ret = v4l2_device_register(&pdev->dev, &rga->v4l2_dev);

        vfd = video_device_alloc();

        rga->m2m_dev = v4l2_m2m_init(&rga_m2m_ops);

        rga->cmdbuf_virt = dma_alloc_attrs(rga->dev, RGA_CMDBUF_SIZE,
                                           &rga->cmdbuf_phy, GFP_KERNEL,
                                           DMA_ATTR_WRITE_COMBINE);

        rga->src_mmu_pages =
                (unsigned int *)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, 3);
        rga->dst_mmu_pages =
                (unsigned int *)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO, 3);

        ret = video_register_device(vfd, VFL_TYPE_VIDEO, -1);
        ......
        video_unregister_device(rga->vfd);

        free_pages((unsigned long)rga->src_mmu_pages, 3);
        free_pages((unsigned long)rga->dst_mmu_pages, 3);

        dma_free_attrs(rga->dev, RGA_CMDBUF_SIZE, rga->cmdbuf_virt,
                       rga->cmdbuf_phy, DMA_ATTR_WRITE_COMBINE);

        v4l2_m2m_release(rga->m2m_dev);

        video_device_release(rga->vfd);

        v4l2_device_unregister(&rga->v4l2_dev);

        pm_runtime_disable(rga->dev);

So I think the error handling code is more complex than this patch. ;(
