[PATCH v2 1/2] media: rcar-isp: Release ISPCORE resources

From: Linmao Li

Date: Tue Aug 04 2026 - 07:38:17 EST


v4l2_device_register() takes a reference to the parent device, but the
ISPCORE remove path never calls v4l2_device_unregister(). The reference
is therefore leaked whenever an ISPCORE is removed.

Probe failures after rppx1_create() also return without destroying the
RPPX1 object.

Unregister the V4L2 device and destroy the RPPX1 object on the
corresponding error paths, and unregister the V4L2 device during removal.
v4l2_device_unregister() also unregisters all attached subdevices, so it
replaces the narrower subdevice-only cleanup.
